Freight (boxes) to Cavite

[dopey]

Me again..:doh

I've got about 10 jumbo balikbayan boxes going back to Philippines
(Cavite)

I've spoken to the guy who always used to forward our boxes and he still wants £120 per box (Jumbo size)

I've looked at freight forwarders and for 10 boxes each weighing 30 kilo total price is £800-00

Now with BalikBayan I can load them up to my hearts content, weight is not a concern
Buts thats a hellava difference between freight and BalikBayan
Nooo I'm not a kuripot, but £400 squid is £400 squid:grosyeux:

Any one got any other ideas how to ship my stuff from Kent to Philippines?

10 boxes is quite a lot of freight.
Too much to send on a weight basis and probably too costly to send all at once as Balikbayan Boxes.

May I kindly suggest that you consider utilising a specialist shipping companies with a view to paying by volume only and letting them ship for you. Usually you'll get a ship within a few days without the need to wait around to 'share' a container.

Just as example click on this link 1st Move International (ShipIt) (http://www.shipit.co.uk/) and look around their site.
Hopefully it will be helpful for you. You only pay per the exact volume of your shipment(s)
