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.
Pickup in London
Pickup at your door in London is free. London is on a scheduled run. Instead of picking a single day, you pick a Monday-to-Friday week when you book, and the earliest week you can choose is two weeks from today. A van drives that far once enough boxes are waiting, and the count we watch for is 15 boxes in that direction. Once the week is set we confirm the exact day with you.
Kaya kung may plano ka na, mas mabuting mag-book agad. The earlier your boxes join the count, the sooner the run goes out.
