What Joy !!

Wow a treat!!

How many weeks/months did the boxes take to arrive?

I have been trying unsuccessfully to persuade my mum to send me a box for the last 16 years

The above are available in a few shops in the NCR, however the prices are ridiculous. With more and more Brits retiring in the Philippines every year, there could be an online business opportunity selling those types of stuff.

That box was the last one of 21 that we sent starting way back in May 2014.
It was picked up from on 3rd November 2014

We guessed it may take some time due to Christmas/New Year/Pope Visit etc.

I really wish we'd sent more dry goods and tinned foods etc
Over the months we'd also sent over shampoos/shower gels/bars of soap/Fabric conditioner etc.
Mostly Dove brand from the 99p shops.
Wish we'd have sent boxes more of these as the same brand stuff here is so much more expensive.

Yes, you're right, a darn good business opportunity
