    Yes that's what I mean!
    It's cheaper but I think you have to pay for the taxes and obviously, tax will cost more than the items inside.
    I don't pay tax on mine so that's the good thing about it...

    It's door to door delivery and they don't need to pay for anything.
    If you need boxes according to what you choose (small, medium, large, x-large), then they'll send the empty boxes by themselves straight to your door free of charge.
    You're from Visayas and one of the men was from Cebu so it's great if you're be friend with him as you both can speak Bisaya.
    Here's their website:

    Sitting surrounded by boxes waiting to be picked up by LBC. On the tax point it doesn't matter who you send with if Phill customs decide to tax you will be taxed! Im guessing LBC are just like Fedex and DHL etc who are strict on what they carry and ensure you declare it both of who will of course pass on the tax to you if customs demand it. Im guessing thats why companies seem to come and go as im sure many decide when Customs do try and sting them for tax they just leave the box there as mentioned the tax is often more than the box is worth then promptly never use the same company again..

    Im hoping this means they clear customs a tad quicker. As the box filling was watched on webcam by eager family willing the box to fill up and fly over
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
