Ya heard about that some months back, they are trying to crack down on those that are "using" BB boxes for importing for their family business.  

 

Can you believe someone figured out to fill a bunch of boxes with goodies using the BB service to avoid customs?

This is requirements for the consolidator, it may mean new forms for us also, but don't worry.   I just received a couple BB boxes a couple weeks ago, no issues... aside from it took two Filipinos and a dolly to bring the one in the house.  And I used LBC also.

 

I believe this rule went into affect months ago.  LBC is the consolidator.

Wow the nerve of some people to take advantage of the loop hole. What are people thinking? 

 

I heard of a family just recently this week that sent 33 boxes to the Phil. Must be one heck of a Christmas at their house. Must have a very large family.

And a very nice sari-sari store

I bet they're going to be sari-sari soon when they hear about the changes.

Yeah I saw a story on TFC this past Christmas where a woman was complaining because only 18 out of 20 of her large boxes arrived in the Philippines by Christmas time. I was sitting there thinking OMFG she sent 20 boxes of stuff.

Complaining.. really!       I would be amazed.

 

This past time we shipped two boxes to arrive after we were here, we shipped them over two weeks apart, they were on different ships, yet the 2nd box almost caught up with the 1st box... crazy.
