Packing the box so it arrives whole
A balikbayan box is 23 x 22 x 20 inches, and you pay one price for it whether it weighs a little or a lot. So fill the space properly rather than sending less. Larger or overpacked boxes cost more, and you choose the size when you book.
Mga natutunan namin sa mga kabayan na madalas magpadala:
- Pack with care, send with love. Heaviest items at the bottom, clothes around anything fragile, label both sides.
- Heavy first, light on top. Canned goods and bottles at the bottom so the chocolates arrive in one piece.
- Wrap it, then pad it. Wrap bottles in plastic, then roll them in towels or shirts before they go in.
- Fill every gap. A box with no empty space does not shift. Fill gaps with socks, towels or snacks.
