atlas shipping is a good shipper for balikbayan boxes. i've used them a few times before. the boxes each time was delivered within 3 weeks. of course it will help if you call your local branch to ask them what day the next shipment sets sail to go to the Philippines. they have a cut-off date that they must have your box by a certain day to be in the ship that week. like here in northern california...if i was going to send a box, they would need to have my box by tuesday (if i remember correctly) so that i can leave with the ship friday. if i miss that cut off day, it stays in their warehouse another week until the following friday.

I've sent a bout 4 BB Boxes using Atlas. The corporate operation is fine and will get your box to it's destination.

The only failing I've experienced was the idiot local store who "forgot" to call Atlas Chicago to pick up our box at the end of October. This meant it went out the end of November instead. The local store will remain out of the loop from now on (I think they closed down anyway) and We'll just pay a little extra for Atlas to pick the box up at our house now.

Their tracking system is stupid though. It will only show once you're box is received in Manila. You would think they'd be able to show once it's at the port in the US and then again when the ship is out to sea but apparently they don't care to be on top of the situation like that.


Must have info for bringing your Philippine wife/fiancee's child to the US

My box got to its designation in prefect order. The delivery guy videotaped my father in-law next to package for verification of delivery.
