Sending a package to the Philippines?

[Terpe]

When you fill in the box size/weight on web forms to get a price just be aware that all of the courier outfits use volume pricing - I sent 4kg to Sweden last week but when quoting guessed the box size a bit smaller than it actually was I'd calculated £21 but paid £25 - still a good deal compared with Parcel Farce

DHL have a small range of "standard boxes" (No.1, No2, etc) The "normal weight" for each box is printed on the side but the service centre told me it's just a guide anyway up to + couple of kg.

I've a feeling ourt box was No.4 up to 6kg. We actually stuffed it pretty tight but still only 5kg.
