  • Tape Boxes (use clear packing tape NOT DUCT tape): Tape bottom flap securely. Really secure bottom flap as it is carrying the load. Avoid using duct tape it peels off in hot weather and will unravel.

  • Line Boxes -Use garbage bags to line and contain your items. This lining will protect your balikbayan box inside the container in case the liquid contents of other boxes spill.

  • Pad or Cushion Boxes -Soft items first, blankets, clothes, towels, etc. These will serve as cushion to your other things.
  • Put Breakable Items in middle. Clothes or bubble wraps should pad these items. Tie the garbage bag and put a bubble wrap on top.

  • Secure and tape Liquids, put inside plastic bags (ziploc): Secure liquid containers (shampoo, lotion, etc.) by putting a tape around the cap.  Wrap liquids inside a plastic bag. Use bubble wrap or soft clothings to secure breakable items.

  • Make Items List You can put a list of the items inside the box with their corresponding recipients of items to avoid confusion of recipients. It also serves as an inventory list that the recipient can check if everything is in there. Close the box and secure the opening with tape. AEROSEND will strap for free.

  • Write ADDRESS and PHONE NUMBER of Recipient - Write the name, address, and phone number of the recipient on the sides of the box. To those sending boxes to the provinces, especially to those without a house number on the address, attach a map so it would be easier for the delivery guys to find the place. Need phone number so delivery can call.

  • DROP OFF AT OUR LOCATION IS CHEAPER - Call AEROSEND at 1-630-621-3372 or your local  AEROSEND BRANCH for pick up arrangements.

  • Customs Declaration Form - Complete Shipper's Export Declaration and packing list forms. Get your signed copy of the invoice. This will be your proof that you sent your balikbayan box through AEROSEND.  Do NOT hesitate to fully declare your contents, customs fees are already paid, and insurance included. If there is an insurance claim, it will be based on this declaration. LIABILITY PER BOX US $200 for Regular Box.

  • Note on SENDING CHOCOLATE: The problem in sending chocolates through the balikbayan box is the temperature. The hot weather in the Philippines will melt the chocolates in no time. This melting process happens when the container holding the boxes is opened in the Philippines. Tips to make sure that your chocolates will be received in good, presentable form:

    1. Put each chocolate pack in a box. This will prevent your chocolates from getting deformed especially when they melt. This is also a protection from other melting chocolates.

    2. Put all the chocolate boxes in a strong carton box.

    3. To protect the chocolates from the other contents (toiletries, etc.), wrap the chocolate box using a cling film or plastic wrap.

    4. Put the chocolate box in the middle of balikbayan box and put all else (clothes, toiletries, shoes, etc.) on the sides. This will protect your chocolates from other balikbayan boxes during handling and transit.
