Sending Balikbayan Box in Time of Pandemic

Pwede Padala Gal — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 17:08:37 +0000

After settling in my new apartment and dealing with some tasks (installing Wifi and buying a dining table), I decided not to wait and sent a small balikbayan box in the Philippines. I said before that I would refrain from sending balikbayan boxes to save and invest more. So why now? Why during a pandemic […]

When it comes to finding the right freight forwarders, I guess I’m lucky to get recommendations from the pioneers, the people who came before me in Canada.
