residents               visiting               the               Philippines,               most               of               which               are               Filipinos               or               Americans               with               Filipino               spouses,               relatives,               or               friends,               find               it               difficult               to               pack               all               the               stuff               they               intend               to               bring               to               the               Philippines.
               It               is               part               of               Philippine               culture               for               a               traveler               with               Filipino               roots               to               bring               "pasalubong,"               a               form               of               gift               given               by               a               person               who               just               came               from               a               different               place,               to               family               members,               relatives,               and               friends               upon               arrival.

However,               the               baggage               size               and               weight               requirements               by               airlines               significantly               limit               the               items               a               person               can               bring.

This               is               where               the               "balikbayan               box,"               an               alternative               way               to               bring               goods               to               the               Philippines,               becomes               an               ideal               option               to               Philippine-bound               travelers.

These               service               is               typically               available               across               the               United               States.
               Balikbayan               Box               Service               vs.

Regular               Couriers
               Although               the               likes               of               U.S.

Postal               Service               (USPS),               United               Parcel               Service               (UPS),               and               FedEx               may               be               more               popular               courier               options,               they               are               still               very               expensive               if               you're               sending               a               box               loaded               with               canned               goods,               bathroom               items,               shoes,               clothes,               toys,               and               other               essentials.

This               is               where               the               balikbayan               box               becomes               a               very               practical               choice.

Generally,               a               person               can               load               as               much               items               in               a               large               corrugated               box               with               a               sample               size               of               24               x               18               x               24               inches               without               a               weight               limit.

The               flat               rate               can               only               cost               about               $100.

Smaller               boxes               may               cost               about               $60               or               even               less.
               Compared               to               international               couriers               bringing               package               via               air,               the               balikbayan               boxes               are               shipped               via               sea.

The               packages               end               up               in               a               Philippine               seaport,               then               they               are               delivered               door-to-door               to               their               final               destinations               using               ground               transportation.
               Advantages               and               Disadvantages
               The               advantage               of               securing               a               balikbayan               box               is               the               affordability               and               convenience               of               bringing               a               bulk               of               items               from               the               United               States               to               the               Philippines.

This               service               allows               the               traveler               to               save               a               lot               of               money               than               sending               the               items               using               regular               courier               or               bringing               them               as               excess               baggage               at               the               airport.

Compared               to               that               of               a               large               balikbayan               box,               the               hefty               fees               airlines               charge               to               the               same               number               of               additional               items               checked-in               to               the               carrier               typically               cost               double               or               even               more.



               The               disadvantage               of               sending               a               balikbayan               box               is               primarily               the               long               wait               before               it               gets               to               its               destination.

Since               a               ship               brings               it               to               the               country,               it               takes               anywhere               from               three               to               eight               weeks               before               it               gets               delivered.

Often               times,               Manila-bound               boxes               reach               their               destinations               faster               than               those               going               to               the               provinces.
               Tips               for               Sending               a               Balikbayan               Box
               Weighing               its               pros               and               cons,               sending               a               balikbayan               box               is               a               cost-effective               option               for               those               with               lots               of               goods               to               bring               during               their               trips,               but               don't               have               enough               budget               to               send               them               using               speedier               means.

The               economic               value               it               provides               its               customers               clearly               makes               this               particular               industry               thrive               not               only               in               the               United               States,               but               the               rest               of               the               world.
               Since               it               takes               a               few               weeks               before               the               balikbayan               box               reaches               the               Philippines,               to               minimize               this               trade-off               issue,               it               is               best               that               the               traveler               sends               the               box               ahead               of               time,               ideally               one               or               two               months               before               the               scheduled               flight.
               Aside               from               the               longer               transit               time,               another               caveat               of               sending               items               as               a               freight               aboard               a               cargo               ship               is               that               there               is               no               option               to               keep               fragile               items               safe               and               secure               inside.

This               means               that               fragile               items               are               best               brought               as               part               of               the               traveler's               carry-on               bag               or               carefully               packed               in               the               checked-in               baggage               complete               with               a               "Fragile               Item"               tag.
               It               is               easy               to               find               balikbayan               box               shippers               across               America.

Most,               especially               the               large               and               reputable               ones               such               as               Manila               Forwarder,               LBC               Express,               and               Forexworld,               have               all               pertinent               information               available               online.

Many               companies               also               have               postings               in               local               Asian               food               stores.

It               is               ideal               to               check               with               Filipinos               in               the               community               for               tips               about               sending               balikbayan               boxes               as               well.

Regardless               of               which               freight               forwarder               to               use,               it               is               very               important               to               check               the               company's               accreditation               with               the               Philippine               Shippers'               Bureau               and               the               U.S.

Federal               Maritime               Commission.
