I kinda agree more with you, she will need lots more cold weather cloths so they will have to buy new.

If she shops ukay ukay then don't forget goodwill.   Same kind of bargains she is used to

It hard for me to find clothes in Philippines. Size 13 shoes wide.  Shirts can be found, but pants or jeans are tough to find.

 

If you ever purchased underwear in Philippines?  They are not large enough for your coinpurse.  And if you ever seen the jockey brand underwear in the malls, they are paper thin as well.

 

Another thing that is hard to find, is a motorcycle helmet.  They are made for a Philippines head, and quit small.  Next time in a mall or a motorbike shop try a motorcycle helmet on and see how it fits

I always suspected you were a fathead

Yeah, should have just paid the extra baggage fees (had to do same thing when my wife came $$$) but much cheaper then shipping. But hind-sight is always 20/20 right? lol.

 

I say do the balinkbayan box shipping because by the time she needs the summer cloths it will have arrived  

 

Ok on a side note...I have the opposite problem buying cloths in Philippines, I wear XL (don't judge I'm just big boned, haha). Good luck with your shipping and enjoy shopping in the kids section. 

I am xxl here and 4xl or 5xl in PI

Funny you mentioned underwear.....had this same experience..it's kinda embarrassing asking for larger sizes. The helmets fit me fine and I'm sure if I had to buy shoes I'd be limited (I'm limited in US because I wear size 9 4E). Easy to find wide shoes in US but really not many choices to pick from (New Balance, Brooks and some other running shoe brands). 

 

Anyways, guess we've gone off topic. 

 

Many stores have Petite sections, but with her case that sounds to big even!

My wife won't buy used cloths. Some items I will buy and personally I don't mind at all as long as it's clean and not from the 70's, lol.

I never did either until I got asked if we have ukay ukay in the USA.   So I went one day while we were on video chat and I actually scored some new with tags for both of us
