Sending a balikbayan box is more than just shipping items; it’s about sending love and care to family and friends in the Philippines. At The Box Man Logistics, we understand how much every box matters, and we’re here to make the process affordable and stress-free.
What is a Balikbayan Box?
Commonly used by overseas Filipinos to send items back home, a balikbayan box is a cultural tradition that symbolises love and support for family members. These boxes often contain clothes, toiletries, snacks, electronics, and other items that aren’t easily accessible or are more expensive in the Philippines. For many, it’s a heartfelt way to stay connected with loved ones back home.
