The Philippines is an archipelago of over 7,000 islands, rich in natural beauty and culture, with a growing economy. When moving to the Philippines, you’ll likely want to bring more than just a suitcase full of clothes and essentials. You’ll likely want to bring items that will turn your house into a home. Our luggage and box shipping services make it easy to do just that.

Why Ship Your Luggage and Boxes to the Philippines with Anglo Pacific?

When moving to the Philippines or sending items, our luggage and box shipping services provide many advantages:

  • Avoid Excess Airline Baggage Fees: Overweight or extra luggage fees can be expensive. Shipping your items separately saves you money and allows you to bring more than you can carry.
  • Avoid Airport Hassle: Lugging heavy suitcases through crowded airports like Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila is a hassle. Have your luggage shipped directly to your home.
  • Choose Your Delivery Time: Select a delivery time that works for you. We deliver to major cities like Manila and Cebu, as well as smaller towns like Dumaguete.
How the Baggage Shipping Process Works

Our luggage and box shipping service is simple. Here’s how it works:

  1. Get an Instant Quote: Receive an automatic quote based on your shipment size. Our pricing is transparent with no surprises.
  2. Book Your Collection: We coordinate a collection at your UK home or office at a time that suits you. We make it convenient and hassle-free.
  3. Delivery in the Philippines: Your luggage and boxes are delivered directly to your doorstep in the Philippines. We deliver to major cities, provinces and all areas in between.
Air Freight vs. Sea Freight: What’s the Best Option?

When shipping to the Philippines, you can opt for air freight or sea freight. Both options have their benefits:

  • Air Freight: If you need your items quickly, air freight is the way to go. Shipments arrive in 5 to 7 days, making it perfect for urgent items like clothes, electronics or important documents.
  • Sea Freight: For larger items or non-urgent shipments, sea freight is more cost-effective. Shipments take 3 to 6 weeks, making it ideal for furniture, boxes and bulkier items. This option is especially cost-effective for larger volumes.

Box Shipping to the Philippines: Ideal for Larger Volumes

If you have a substantial amount of boxes, cartons or household items, our box shipping service is a practical solution. Here’s why:

  • Sturdy Packing Materials: We provide heavy-duty, high-quality boxes to safeguard your items during transit. Fragile glassware, clothing or anything else is protected.
  • More Cost-Effective for Larger Items: Sending multiple boxes is often less expensive than paying excess luggage fees to airlines. Box shipping is ideal for larger or heavier items that would be expensive to fly.
  • Easy Tracking: Our box shipping service allows you to track your items from departure to delivery in the Philippines.

Shipping Times to the Philippines

The time it takes for your luggage and boxes to arrive in the Philippines depends on the shipping method:

  • Air Freight: Items arrive in 5 to 7 days.
  • Sea Freight: Larger shipments take 3 to 6 weeks via sea freight, depending on the port of origin and destination.

We’ll provide a more accurate delivery timeline based on your shipment details.
