Delayed balikbayan boxes

[Slip]

A lot of the time if flying by air your boxes will be delayed because of lack of space in the aircraft hold.

My company send out x amount of cargo to the aircraft expecting it to go as it's well within the limits for the cargo hold. But due to passengers bringing excess baggage they have to cut some of the cargo because passengers baggage comes first. This means we get a truck turn up at our work shortly after the flight has departed returning the cargo that didn't fit onboard. We then have to send it on the next available flight, but then there are no guarantees it will all fit on this time around.

Slip - Balikbayan boxes always go by sea

Slip - Balikbayan boxes always go by sea

Yeah, that's what I thought. If you think about it, if it was by air, then there would be a certain weight limit per size box

And at £4.00 per kg or whatever my Mrs would have paid a lot more than the £120 she paid for what seemed like 250kg in 3 x mediums
