I used Atlas shipping, http://www.atlasshippers.com/  it was sent thru our local Asian store in Spring Hill. Tampa might have a branch?

We may drive to jacksonville lbc, but I'm scared the package won't arrive as per reviews.

I understand being concerned after reading reviews, however like Hank said the only people that usually take the time to leave a review are those with a complaint of some sort. I can only tell you of my experiences. I am in Hawaii so the shipping time for me is 6 weeks. It was only delayed one time that I have shipped and that was due to the idiot mayor in Manila at the time banning all trucks in Manila during daytime hours to help improve traffic. Luckily that didn't last long since that is the main port and he effectively killed all commerce in the country. *Back to topic: I have made BB shipments 10 times with a total of 11 boxes sent. All have made it with no problem except for the one exception that was beyond their control. Hope that helps, and good luck with whichever service you choose.

Yea there are a lot of Fil-Am couples here. There are a lot of Filipinos here in general. There's a good chance the couple you know is  on Oahu like me since over 65% of population is here.

Come back here and post a follow-up as to how it went. Timeline, costs, problems, restrictions (of course you can't send bombs ) etc.

Haha! Definitely will update. So far, what I know is the biggest box they call it macho with dimesions 24x18x24 $75 and if they have it picked up in my city, it' $105 then it should take about 70-90 days to arrive. I will post the rest of the details here once everything is in motion!  Thank you all

The last one I sent was their Med. sized box, cost approx. $65 (I think) and was sent in early November. It arrived there in about a month and a half..I didnt think that was too bad time wise considering it was sent during the holiday season.. I was more than pleased with their services.

Glad you found a BB service.
