    I'm interested in learning more about Balikbayan boxes , if anyone has knowledge or experiences they can share .
    In particular , things like , how safe is it to send items this way ? , how long is delivery from uk to Phils , and is it really cost effective i.e. Value of contents to cost of shipping .

    It would save me carrying lots of stuff in my case every time I travel there if it's a good
    method .
    Many thanks in advance for any useful info .
