Hi. I had a friend ask me this. If you are moving to the Philippines, and going to stay at a hotel or something, and then buy/rent a house later, or anything similar, where do you ship your boxes to?Is there a place you can use as the reciever, and then just have them delieverd to your address, once you actually have a address?

I believe Paul Cebu Expat Services does it in Cebu and maybe he knows of others in whatever area your friend wishes to move to.

Thanks Lee, yes we are still providing this service.The reason we started doing it was because of a suggestion by Lee that people might want somewhere to send boxes while they looked a round for a permanent residence.Paul

I have room to store here in Davao....any boxes of Gold, Coffee, small pinays or pornographic material is accepted, in no particular order.My fee is free...and I am serious, if you need a place to keep your LEGAL stuff, and they are boxes that are not TOO heavy and you will be picking them up in a reasonable amount of time, I can get them up into my loft until you arrive.

There is a storage outfit in the metro Manila area. You could theoretically lease a storage unit from them, ship to them and get your stuff when you have settled down. I have never inspected the place physically and I cannot vouch for them, since I've never done business with them, just exchanged a couple of emails. Safehouse Storage

We sent all 60 of our boxes to Paul Whiteway but we arrived before the boxes, and we had our house by the time they did arrive. We called LBC and arranged for the boxes to all be delivered to our house. No problems.

A company shipping household goods to the Philippines will usually have a Filipino company they work with.

 

So, tell the shipper that you want the Filipino company to hold your household goods for x number of months.

 

You usually have to pay for those months in advance.  If you need more time, the Filipino company will send a messenger to you to pick up payment for the additional months.

 

I did this with the Filipino moving company, Asian Tiger (which has other names).  No problem.  Charge was per cubic meter and not by weight.
