Which shipping company did you use to send your belongings? (Phil to Canada)

[drlexigray]

Trying to look for companies that sends balikbayan boxes/cargo boxes from the Philippines to Canada. Any ideas? I have a lot of books I want to bring and it will come out too heavy if I try to bring it with me on the plane.

Help please?

How many books are you bringing?
Why don't you just pay for another luggage? Instead of carrying 2 overweight ones, just bring a third one maybe?

Anyways, LBC is pretty reliable.

Quite a few. and they are heavy ones.. was actually debating on paying the extra 150$ for another 50lb luggage, but it looks like I'll need 2 extra luggages (coming out at 300$) just because of the weight limit.

Balikbayan boxes shipped via Sea doesn't have a weight limit, as I understand it. right?

Will check LBC. thanks!

Any other options?

That's correct shipped boxes visa sea cargo doesn't have a weight limit. The problem is I don't think there's a cargo from the Philippines to Canada. If there is any it might be rare. Obviously there's a lot of companies that ship from Canada to the Phil but not the other way around. But hopefully you find one. Goodluck.

Thanks Marsiangel! hopefully someone who has experience shipping personal belongings when they migrated to canada can answer the question.

Will pass by LBC later as well.

This is incorrect. I have one suggestion:

They have offices in Vancouver, Toronto, Hong Kong, Manila and etc. I used their international relocation services (for shipping my personal belongings) from China to Vancouver and the experience was great.
