I just called Manila Forwarder today. Their jumbo box is from 35 to 40 kls lang. So if you're stuff is more than 40 kls....compute na lang daw nila yung excess weight. I also asked if they can give me an estimated or exact amount on how much I'll pay for my stuff (assuming it's 40 kls) from Manila to Fort Myers,FL.

Manila to LA (by sea 1 month) = $109

LA to Fort Myers (via fedex) = $68

-------

$177

They'll keep reminding you that food, any liquids (shampoo, lotion, perfume, conditioner, etc), and A LOT of cd/dvd/vcd are not allowed. Also, they told me they'll give DISCOUNT kung sabay-sabay magpapadala. but they wont give discount if magkaka-iba ng date sa pagpapadala.

hi sis!

i already called up manila forwarder using this number 356.8061 and i was shocked because they are just located here in valenzuela and i am from valenzuela :D their address is just walking distance away from our house but since i dnt want to walk then ill say "trike bike distance na lang" lol!

the girl who answered was nice and accommodating. she said i'll pay $99 MNL - LA ( sea freight ) plus $66 LA - Indiana (air freight). She said they accept fragile stuff like plates and glasses and yes you are right no foods daw kasi subject for BFAD approval pa daw.

O we will definitely use this manila forwarder, pero not now pa kasi la pa nga kami NOA2 lol! thanks again sis for sharing this company. God bless!
