How to pack your
Balikbayan Boxes |
PEN - Use
“Black” permanent ink. Don’t ever use
whiteboard markers.
RECEIVER
– Write complete address in the box and
preferably with landline or hand phone
number. Please write boldly and legibly on
the box. Write the receiver info at least
two or more at different sides of the box.
Avoid “P.O. Box” as address and preferably
give a residential address.
TAPE –
Avoid using gray duct tape or masking tape.
Tape the bottom and top flaps of the box
properly using packing tape and preferably
cover the sides with transparent packing
tapes. If using transparent packing tape,
write the sender and receiver info on the
box first before putting on the tape. No
need to tie a rope into your box as we
provide free strapping of your boxes.
PLASTIC BAG
- Place a heavy duty plastic garbage bag
inside the box before putting the contents
to protect them from being wet especially
during rainy season.
LIQUIDS
- Tape tops of all shampoo, conditioners,
lotions, perfumes, and other plastic or
glass containers that contain fluids. Place
said items in a separate plastic bag so that
in case of spill they will not damage other
items in the box. If possible, avoid sending
“FABRIC CONDITIONERS’ as they usually breaks
off inside the box.
PERISHABLE ITEMS
– Do not send perishable items like fresh
fruits, meat products and other unpreserved
items as they will be spoiled when it
reaches the receiver.
TOYS & BATTERIES
– Remove batteries from the toys before
packing.
POWER –
Write a note or put a small padlock in the
hole of the plug for small electronic items
that requires 110V to prevent receiver from
immediately plugging the item as Philippines
outlets are usually 220V.
WEIGHT –
For easy and safe handling, do not over or
under pack the boxes.
SCHEDULE FOR PICK
UP – As soon as you are ready,
please call us at least 2 days before your
desired pick up date.
BOX LOCATION
– We strongly suggest that at the day your
box is scheduled for pick up, please bring
the box to your garage or near to your door
for easier and faster collection.
