How much lbc balikbayan box

I also didn't know LBC is Filipino-owned! So happy to see that they operate worldwide! Wow- packing up a balikbayan box is definitely like how I pack up our suitcases for travel. My jewelry and shampoos are sandwiched between the clothes and I also do it with japanese canned tuna plus the chocolates that I check in.

That is true! I will share what are the practical items to send from Australia to the Philippines, and how to avoid damages of the boxes.

What I'm trying to figure out is the most affordable way to send gifts to my bosses and my fellow staff in Geelong, hehe! But it's good to know they have balikbayan options where you are. I'll ask my SIL if they have that same tax free privilege if she sends from Texas cause there's a lot I want to buy online but need someone to put them together and send them to me. Sending mail or packages anywhere going to Australia, is truly a pain and so expensive! We're also planning to send watches and phones din sana, hopefully safe at no duties and taxes?

Hello Kay! That is where you will list-down all your items. Make sure that all are for personal use or gift for families. No large quantities as higher than 20pcs. Sending phones, and other gadgets are okay basta for personal use at few quantity like less than 3 para sigurado. As long as your total declared value is less than Php10, means pasok yan sa no duties and taxes. May I know the contact number of the lovely kuya from Traralgon?

I've always wanted to send a box but never knew how to. Salamat for posting! I have been sending balikbayan box through a company I used to trust only to find out after careful examining na may mga items na nawawala. Example, I sent used rubber shoes 9 pcs and 2 leather shoes mga gamit na ito.

Only 2 arrived, akala ko nalilito lang ako but now found out nawala talaga. I don't know if Customs in the Philippines are to be blamed on this as there was a news before na nagbubukas sila ng boxes, katwiran nila dapat i tax yun mga padala. E na tax na yun where it came from di ba?

I am so disappointed kasi kung magpapadala ako ng keso, 7 piraso, 2 lang nakakarating. Hair trimmer supposedly xmas gift sa mga pamangkin hindi rin nakarating. Duterte na pag binuksan pa ulit LBC??? Not sure if this is accurate news. Disappointed and lost which company to use. Please advide. I'm sorry that some of your items are taken from you. I've tried LBC balikbayan box services twice na, and I haven't experienced yet any issues.

Upon arrival to the recipient, I asked them to take pictures side-by-side and check if it was deliberately opened. Fortunately, dumating naman na okay lahat. What I heard about LBC is that they have their own logistic employees, meaning not subcontractors which avoids the lost issues. But there are places that they subcontract the delivery.

Maybe that also happens to other logistic services. Customs in the Philippines can open our boxes when their x-ray machine detects something suspicious and not declared properly, pero dapat walang mawawala. What I did is I only sent items na hindi mahal ang value, para just in case something happen hindi masakit sa bulsa. If I know that there are similar items naman available sa Pinas, I rather send money instead para dun na lang bilhin.

Maybe you can try getting the contact number of the LBC warehouse na malapit sa padadalhan mo. That way, you can also monitor the end delivery :.

I just wanna clarify, kasi on your blog you said, "Make sure that your items will not exceed to allowable Php, worth of Tax-free. I am confused which is which. For example, I would need to send two boxes to one address for all my relatives. How does this amounts apply?

Based on the current BOC policy, the maximum allowable tax-free goods balikbayan box shipment is up to Php, per year. For the next step, it will be sent to Yokohama customs for export declaration and sent to Manila by ship.

Any amount that exceeds this is subject to payment of duties and taxes. Around that time, in Los Angeles and other Filipino enclaves in the U. These services are generally cheaper than a standard courier service as transit times are longer and they utilize the local postal service in the Philippines to make the final delivery. Others are tightly secured with tape or rope, and thus not confused with an ordinary moving box that is lightly wrapped.
