Unfortunately I'd be going on my own and am in need of having to ship a balikbayan box worth of clothes.

Consulted the usual LBC, DHL,etc., but it's too expensive for the budget. I'm hoping having it shipped via a cargo vessel would be much cheaper.

Curious lang if may nagpadala na ba to the US ng balikbayan box filled with clothes via cargo (by sea instead of air freight)? Saan ako pupunta if ever, and how much kaya estimate ng pagpapadala compared to air freight? And lalampas kaya ng 1 month before it gets there? TIA guys. :-)

i used to send boxes and parcel before for my parents/kin on both coasts thru johny air cargo located sa megamall sm and that was during the early 90's nung nasa pinas pa ako. yup shipping and air. affordable yung price than most and dependable yung carrier, na kahit undeclared goods ko like over the counter na gamot (illegal sa US), jewelry, or even cash eh nakakarating "on time" usually (hindi naman sila fedex or dhl kasi eh). they pick up the box from your location (fee) or you can just drop it off. ako i drop it there mismo sa gamol at the basement near the game area and comic shops. fortunately the office's still there last time na destino ako dyan although my info's outdated so better ring them up. also may discount ka yata kung member ka ng philmug. my folks used forex cargo i think or i don't remember, when they send a balikbayan box to the province
