Only just found out about this site quite by accident. I'm looking to send stuff from the UK to here in cebu where i live with my wife. I miss lots of food from the UK. Branston pickle being a major one! I understand lbc uk are an option. Looking for advice with sending things to the Philippines from uk. Thanks in advance.
Hi and welcome. Pretty simple really......... You get LBC to drop however many balikbayan boxes you need, fill them up, and call them back to pick up when ready and sealed... Pay the driver/collector, and Bob's your uncle........ Done and dusted. I believe there is a deposit of £5 per box as they are first dropped off, or even if personally picked up from the local LBC agent.
Don't use the word "dropped". We are talking about glass jars of Branston pickle. Welcome to the board Terry!
when my fiancee was over here--i went shopping with her to stock up one of those boxes. what is it about instant coffee--spam---and toblerones ? poundland had a field day
Some info on balikbayon companies in this thread. Oh and welcome. http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/b-n-lilley-services.8520/page-3#post-69348
