Furniture is rarely worth shipping internationally, unless its particularly good quality. Selling furniture and large electrical items will give you cash to start all over again.
We send a balkibayan box every few months to the Philippines and never had a problem so far.
Hi Ricky, thanks for that - haven't decided specifically what we're taking yet, but maybe we'll ship less things than we were going to originally!!!! Balikbayan boxes would be good for clothes and suchlike I imagine........
