Hello to all my kababayan,

I am just confused on what to do with my pasalubong. It is shopping time here in US so a lot of sale and most of my pasalubong i will just buy it in victoria secret so it will really be so heavy and so bulky to carry so i am just thinking of sending it to the philippines this december. But my problem is I dont know what is the best courrier or cargo like Forex, LBC, Manila Forwarder:-(

Can you pls share to me and give some advice what is the best and how u did it?

Thanks for the great help i really appreciate all your response:-)

Have a great weekend!

i use LBC never lost anything yet and i think i sent almost total of 10 boxes already to my house in the philippines coming from baltimore but it takes about 45-65 days before it will arrive the philippine address that you want it delivered at. and you can put anything in it i mean any weight as long as you can close the box properly. just don't put any chocolates or candies that easily melt. i tried putting in some jellybeans and it was okay. i even brought home a hd dvd player but i declared it as used but actually it was brand new they never asked for taxes.

Good luck on finding the best sale stuff to send to the philippines...i know black friday sale is almost near and i love shopping on that day because everything is on sale.

Just sent a Forex box. Took about 45 days to La Union. Cost was $80 from outer island Hawaii. Heard LBC was good and a little cheaper. Can't ship LBC here.

Same size boxes with NO weight limit. Bottom loaded with Spam. I couldn't even pick up the box. Took 2 guys.

I sent my Balikbayan box three days ago (Wednesday) through LBC. They give door to door delivery for only $65 from here (San Francisco Bay Area) to Manila. They come, they strap the box for you, they haul it and take it away. They told me that the ship leaves today and will probably get there just before or just after Christmas. This is my second time sending the box to Manila. My husband packed the first one and everything got there okay. I packed the second one. I hope everything gets there okay.

i just found this on a website forum and wanted to share the info to you. i use to get a balikbayan box in a filipino store in baltimore and when i am ready i would call them up and schedule a pick up then i know they bring it to jersey city also. Just dont forget to ask for a new balikbayan box free from the lbc guys when they drop by your house to pick up your box. i usually ask them 2-3 boxes and would fill it up then send to the philippines.

Just stop by one of your local filipino stores and pick up a box or two, or just go to one of the LBC offices. Maybe even call the Jersey City office to see who the agent/pickup guy is for your area.

Here are the New Jersey offices of LBC.

I just looked at the LBC rates to Mindanao and they were about double of what we paid last time. The place we used last time stopped shipping boxes so I think I will do more research.
