    I been using these to send boxes to Jonalyn
    worldwide-parcelservices.co.uk

    Normal cost to send a box is £50
    That for a box 40x30x20cm and
    About 5kg

    Box normaly in Manila in 2days

    I have seen a little cheaper but charge
    More for delivery to province

    You are paying a lot but undoubtedly an express service, outfits like Forex charge £50 and 5/6 weeks to Manila for a 60 x 40 x 50cm box that might be a 2 man lift

    is there a lot cheaper than £50? i just want to send some old clothes and gadgets to family. but if its too expensive, better not to send old clothes, they rather buy the new one in the phils. :(

    When we were enquiring from herts UK we had trouble getting any of these companies to pick up the boxes.. The only one that actually picked them up when they said they would were Belwood uk www.belwooduk.co.uk
    Thats why I continue to recommend and use them.

    i do send boxes to Manila.. i get 3 medium size boxes for £115.. you can send anything you want in it which air freight won't allow you to do so

    i normally send a lot of clothes, shoes, ornaments, etc. that you can get anything from the car boot sales and charity shops. im actually be sending 3 more boxes this month.. it's the best way to get rid of all the clutters in the house

    Feel free to pm me and i'll give you the contact details as they are also Filipinos collecting and dropping the boxes... they're very friendly.. they can send you the boxes and collect them when you're ready... brilliant service and recommend them for you. You can save a lot by sending 3 medium boxes for only £115 trust me.
    Taka care now & Bye!.... Venus
