PAL Cargo for shipping stuff to London?

Although I don't work for Pal Cargo, I do deal with other airlines' cargo. I think you will find it is just as expensive as paying excess cargo. Plus you will pay a handling and storage fee. Tbh, storage fees add up pretty quickly if you don't collect the day they receive it.

I called PAL cargo today and was told that a box sized 52cms x 52cms x 52cms with an estimated weight of 30kgs would cost about USD 422.05 roughly. And yes, I was told I will have to collect the box in London because they do not deliver. Thanks for letting us know about the other fees that might come up. That was not mentioned to me on the phone earlier today.

I also wondered about Customs in UK... if I am bringing my old stuff (pre-loved items - clothes, shoes, bags, books, wedding dress) a big wedding album as in the album alone weighs 6 kgs and like 9 pcs of a small item which are meant to be gifts for friends in UK. Do you know if I will be taxed even though they are all for personal use and gifts for friends and family ("pasalubong" is what we call it here in Manila)?
