cheap way to send boxes to U.S.????

[RK_and_Inday 10]

Hi, fellow VJ members. Can you tell me most inexpensive and reliable way to send box size packages from the Philippines to the United States? Specifically each box is about 0.5 meters (about 1.5 "feet") square on each side, boxes would contain items such as books and clothes, and would be sent from Bacolod area to the United States. Thank you much for your help!

@laforzadeldestino: Thank you for response! 8k? Ouch! Could be worse, i suppose. One month is very OK--if even less expensive, I would not mind even longer delivery time. Thank you for reference: is appreciated and I trust the word of experience. BTW, best of luck to you on your soon upcoming interview (November 21, I believe).

The cheapest way may be to check extra bags on your flight. Even if it is $75.00, you can often take up to 50lbs (23kg) per bag. In my case, I have an airline credit card. If I buy a ticket with that card, my fiancee gets to take 2 bags free.

Oh man, I cancelled my Delta Rewards credit card before we started our visa process. I wanted to make sure I had no debts when my fiancee arrived in the US, so I cancelled (didn't cancel per se, but more like cut my cards and left it open and maintain it) all my credit cards and now rely on my debit card. I know I should of kept that Delta card because it had the same reward if you bought a ticket. Well, I guess one good thing about paying off my credit cards... my credit score shot to the roof.

Yes, went to LBC first and suprisingly mahal, so looking around for other options. Thank you again for suggestion!

Mapletree, hmmm...thank you for very good suggestion. Yes, my fiance and I had thought of this, too. However, for a few extra boxes which would be too much to physically carry/transport for the flight, was also looking around for additional mailing options. Again, thank you for the idea; i think you may be right and extra bags on flight may be best way overall.
