    I would like to do the same, but worry about the stuff getting lost in transit etc.

    How do you send yours?

    Last christmas we just sent money. But I don't like doing that unless I have to. Would prefer to send a box of goodies.

    This year has been a bit of a bumper year for Forex. We've sent 7 Jumbo boxes already. (Each Jumbo get a medium box for just £20)

    The last two boxes we sent did take 8 weeks to Davao though (5 weeks to Manila and 3 weeks from Manila to Davao )

    Anyways, in the 10 years we've been sending, we've never had any problems ---
    touch wood ----- Hope I haven't spoken too soon, the xmas boxes will be going soon.
