Tukaram (Tim) Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 6-8 weeks this close to christmas? I doubt it will be that fast.... I had an 11 box shipment when i moved here (shipped in February) they all arrived together in under a month. I was totally shocked. The next time was one box (shipped in September) it took 3 months. There are 2 boxes on the way now (shipped in September) last we heard was they were in Manila - almost a month ago. Still waiting for them. For this current shipment I turned my wife loose on Target & Wal-Mart websites. She ordered all kinds of stuff and we had it shipped to my sisters house. My family said they added a bunch of stuff to it... We did not really ask for anything, just ordered what we wanted. Since we can find almost everything we need here the BB boxes are more for fun than need. :tiphat: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike In Canada Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 It is almost always 7 to 8 weeks from Toronto to Luzon. Only once in 5 years has it taken longer. We normally ship boxes 2 to 3 times per year. The price has recently increased to $75 Canadian unlimited weight for a 24" square box. We shipped 8 boxes last weekend as we will arrive in January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who did you use to ship through? I checked the local price from Niagara Falls about 2 1/2 years ago and was told $140 a box. And each box they wanted $20 for...

Jack Peterson Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Try LBC... Done but at 100 pounds per box the Embassy say too much but looking at things here I would have said that is about right. Seems we can't use any of the UK death Fund money she will get soon and the wife is adamant she wants the Stuff gone but won't pay anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
