Balikbayan Boxes

[Kalboaso]

Thanks for that, (Darren also!) I am using Forex so I can feel confident in them now that you have told me how reliable they are. Mine is going to Davao City so not a remote place, so it should arrive in the earlier time rather than later.

For the next one, which will be jumbo, I have decided to pack stuff in smaller boxes so I can keep them in my study then assemble the box nearer the time as it will have to sit in my utility room until it is collected. The large one I just sent was sat there for weeks and I was always falling over it
That way I can just bring the smaller boxes downstairs when necessary.

So does anybody else use someone other than Forex? How big would you say a large box is and what's the average cost of this and delivery times?
