I am thinking this might be my best bet, might have no other choice:
Balikbayan box - Manila Forwarder

I think ALL BB shippers have botched an order or two coming into the Philippines. Some are better then others I am certain. Even 2GO was on the blacklist of shippers. Most of those problems occurred after the box was in the Philippines, and some of them were not the fault of the shipper at all, but of customs, for instance they may find one box that has something illegal or improper in it, so they confiscate the entire container.

One may liken it to a letter using Philpost. If someone sends me something from the US using USPS, it usually takes 3-8 weeks, IF it arrives at all. One out of three or so never arrive. However, sending to the US using Philpost, my letters have arrived in 10 days or less every time.

I do not know of any other shipper that offers BB to the US for less the $400.

Your recommendation of an inventory sheet is good advice.

A client of aking ang Asawa is DHL, she has used them in the past for important Visa docments and they have never disappointed us. She even gets a discount (when the knock-off Gucci bag to the clerk is mistakingly left behind on the counter). It's more fun doing business in the Philippines !
