Hi to all vj family, I'm from Lenoir, North Carolina. Is anybody here from North Carolina? I'm planning to send a balikbayan box to my family in the Philippines but there is no balikbayan box company where I live. UPS and FedEx are too high, I can't afford it.Waiting for your reply here. Thank you.

Seriously? The fine people here on VJ will help as much as they can, answer just about ANY question for you... but you can't open Google maps and figure out that it's 200 miles, or 3 hours and 47 minutes to Fayetteville, and you live there? 200 miles, mostly East, slightly South of your location. In reality, probably too far to be practical; you'd be better off looking in Greensboro or Raleigh, I think.

I know a guy who do not have any BB/cargo company in his area so he make an arrangement with LBC and then ship the BB to them via UPS ground and LBC takes care of the rest. His total cost is less than $100 per box.
