How To Pack, Tape, and Ship Your Box with LBC EXPRESS Michigan: Balikbayan Box to the Philippines

    Welcome to LBC EXPRESS MICHIGAN. We advise when packing your glass breakables to use plastic bubble wrap. Put lotions or liquids in plastic ziplocks just in case they break or leak. It is always a good idea to isolate clothing from the rest of the items in the box. We recommend putting them in heavy duty garbage bags. Do not send any illegal or prohibited items such as firearms, drugs, pornography, or anything flammable. Do not overpack boxes to the point of bulging, as these boxes will be rejected. Tape up your boxes securely using clear wide box tape. We recommend reinforcing all corners of the box, then go completely around the box with the tape. This tape should be clear wide box tape and can be found at any hardware or Walmart store. Make sure your address and the address of the receiver is legible on two sides of the box. If you have additional questions, call our Michigan warehouse manager, Lea, at 810-599-0966. You can also contact John in the Detroit area to acquire empty boxes and ship. His number is 734-773-6589.
