aww thank you... so it's not measured by weight, but by height/size...cool...
with Dom's link:
LUZON B = Bicol: Camarines N/Sur the Mega Box is £130... hmmm... might consider doing this... or is it worth it?maybe sending £130 cash is better than sending packages? that's why I am still hesistant sending one... any tips?
Cheers
The weight is immaterial, it is by box size worked out by cubic foot/metre....aww thank you... so it's not measured by weight, but by height/size...cool...
It is up to you really.with Dom's link:

For many people the receiving of a balikbayan box is more of an occasion than receiving money.
Don't forget that item labelled made in UK or somewhere in the EU or Usa are prized and shown off to the whole Barangay.
Sometime is matter of "Face"....
In our bulilit box, apart from other bits and bobs, we put a Black and Decker laser Jigsaw, a belt sander with spare belts, A hammer drill with more spare drill bits than anyone can imagine and other "Stanley" tools.
So I just hope now, that Customs ain't going daft......
today the misses family on Palawan got the 3 boxes that we had picked up on the 17th of jan, but they didn't ship them til the end of jan..We sent two boxes in the middle of January and they are being delivered next monday or tuesday.
We tracked them yesterday as they were being released from customs...

yep you are absolutely right, the heavier the better, the most costly the better... good tips!
cheers again
I'm using a company called ALSOMAVIC CARGO UK Ltd.
It is a door to door cargo service from UK to Philippines.
3 small boxes (42x50x65 cm high) for £120.00 anywhere in the Philippines.
The main office is in London.
It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.
yes i don't remember sending wine and an Italian flagSame date as us............
Spooky or what........???
not the same company dom, we used some pinoy company and i don't think they have online tracking
Did they happen to say if there was anything left in them Dom.We sent two boxes in the middle of January and they are being delivered next monday or tuesday.
We tracked them yesterday as they were being released from customs...

Hi Tin....
Just read this message regarding ALSOMAVIC CARGO. Have you been using this Cargo business?? I am sending two boxes with them for the first time and are there services good and most importantly does the box arrived intact?? Because of time contraints I did not have time to search for any balikbayan boxes...an acquiantance offered to use this service but I just read lastnight some not good review regarding their servicesGoogle search ALSOMAVIC CARGO and click on the lonely planet link.
I was just wondering if it was only a one or two bad incident. Because I already pack two large boxes and waiting for them to pick it up on Saturday.
And it would be really dissapointing if I have to unpack it again after all the time I spent in wrapping them properly
Hope you can enlighten me with this thanks...
