Stuff from Phils

[Shifty-Sidney]

Hi all,
I will shortly be bringing a container from Fils, probably on a regular basis. Is there anything you particularly like and would want to get here in UK. (no balut please). i cannot see any problem with bringing packaged foods and nuts etc. anything that will not spoil. If you have any ideas or suggestions let me know. I know there are pinoy stores online. just wondering if i can use the extra space for something.

I really dont know? - depends on what it is. I will be bringing quite a lot of stuff and i can always add other parcels etc. I will also be sending containers to phils too with charity things too.
I just posted the thread to see what peoples ideas are - what do they miss from home or what would they like to send etc.

Can you pls include myself in ur container? So no visa, no passport, and no arifares needed Dont' worry i'm just a slim lady and i will fit any small corner of your container.
And don't worry about the food for I'm sure there'll be a lot filipino food packages in there...he he he. I'll be in a smorgasbord container anyway..

[andypaul]

At the cost of visa's these days, how many Filipina can you get in a box?

[joebloggs]

yes and i know the box we can use , we could smuggle 100's in one go.. the philippines has made the worlds largest shoes, and that shoe box would have to be big

Great plan they may need the worlds largest socks to keep them warm once in european waters.

Can you tell me how much will you charge per CBM? and the ETD of your first shipment? thanks

[KeithD]

Will I be getting a tree then?

A tree in a giant sock and shoe? Now that would freak out the customs people

[KeithD]

Not at Manchester, way too busy investigating the biscuit tin to decide what to have at tea break

[joebloggs]

what ya mean on a break, i've never seen any immigration officers at Manchester airport after you collect your luggage, maybe personel dept forgot to employ some

This sounds like a great idea.
My good lady, Jean, often talks about sending books to her home town for the local school or library which are desperately short of such things.
Its easy to pick up suitable things here cheaply or even for free but the cost of transporting them in Balikbayan boxes is too high for us.

What Jean would really love to buy here is Palm Brand corned beef. This is totally different to UK style corned beef and far superior in taste

I think there are online stores for this but they are not cheap and after shipping costs you might as well buy rump steak.

We are down to our last can form the few we brought back form our last trip to Phils in Nov2006.

It's being saved for a special occasion, I think......maybe if we win the lottery we'll get to eat it!!!!

Hi Mark, I wonder, how long it will take to get the container to the UK? I have a lot of personal stuff here that I wanted to bring to the UK plus some paintings and some stuff for house decors.Thanks
