Many of our customers lately have been bringing us boxes from other shipping companies. Most of these smaller companies do not have the infrastructure branch offices built throughout the Philippines to safely store and deliver boxes by their own employees particularly in far provinces. Many customers have complained their boxes took up to 4 months to deliver with poor or nonexistent tracking. Many have complained that their boxes were tampered with or not delivered at all. This happens because they use 3rd party persons looking to make a few pesos and not employees. It is widely known LBC is the gold standard in the balikbayan box shipping industry so if you want peace of mind, call us at 810-599-0966. We will except all competitor boxes.
