why not try FedEx? I sent my documents via FedEx but I got a chance to ask them about sending stuff. They it will probably costs you from 2400 pesos and above. It depends how much it weighs. You can check on their website.

Need to know the costs too. I have 3-5 oversized boxes I need to send to the US once everything is taken cared of here.

Depends where in the Philippines, and where in the US. If they are not standard size boxes, it will cost much more. A jumbo box from San Francisco Bay Area to Metro Manila cost us only $55 with LBC.

Thank you all for your response. Unfortunately, I've already asked Fedex and LBC they will cost me around 12k &up and it was so expensive. Thanks again for your time...

When my wife was coming to the USA, we gave up on trying to find a reasonable price to ship things from Davao to Minnesota. Everyone she checked with, gave some huge price and refused to carry some the items she wanted to bring. Decided it was actually cheaper to pay for the extra weight on the flight. As it turns out, many of the things we paid extra to get here has already been shipped back in balikbayan boxes to her family in Davao City

The wife didn't have that much to begin with. Everything fit into the gym bag I left with her, plus a cardboard box her father tied together with string. She left behind her law books, for the next relative that would go to law school, and her bedside lamp, the only thing she really owned, besides a few clothes. She still had room for some comfort foods that lasted a few weeks after she arrived in the U.S.

My wife didn't have a lot either. But enough two bags that went a bit over weight. She gave a lot of things away. She also has a large collection of angels she wanted to bring. Those were the breakables the shipping companies refused to accept and she was afraid to pack with her bags. Mostly she brought clothes, including her wedding dress and a barong she had made for me. Real pineapple fiber to. *scratch* *scratch* I told her she didn't need to bring any clothes, she could run naked in the house and we'd buy her something for when we occasionally went out. For some reason she didn't go for that though In reality I said only bring her nicest new things, because most of the year she wouldn't be wearing it here in Minnesota. Well she brought everything she had, including some that were immediately used as rags by her
