LBC All Box Promo

LBC All Box Promo

Clothes, bags, shoes, perfumes, soap, chocolates… nope, they're not things you can find in my closet. They're things you can find inside a Balikbayan Box… the ubiquitous presence that 'goes' with every Filipino abroad, and back to the Philippines.

For us Filipinos , sending balikbayan boxes is not only a trend but a culture. If a Filipino residing or working abroad hasn't sent one balikbakayan box in his/her time overseas, his/her overseas life remains unfulfilled, haha. We OFWs in Saudi Arabia are known for sending a lot of balikbayan boxes filled to the brim with rubber shoes, clothes, chocolates, fragrances… and soap (yes, even the powdered detergent… because well, they're really cheaper here.) The cargo industry is thriving in the Middle East! 

As OFWs who work hard for the things we send to our loved ones in the Philippines, we shouldn't just settle for fly-by-night cargo companies that promise quick delivery at cheap prices but doesn't get the job done. Did you know that there are a lot of cargo companies blacklisted by the Department of Trade and Industry because apart from boxes and packages not arriving their destination, some arrive with dents or holes, or worse… incomplete and manhandled stuff inside? Tsk, tsk. Also, most cargo companies have a standard box they use and aren't flexible enough to receive various sized boxes. 

That is why, LBC came up with their latest Any Box Size Acceptance Promo where boxes of different sizes are accepted at special rates. LBC, known as the number 1 courier company in the Philippines with over 1,000 branches in the Philippines, opened its first branch in Batha, Riyadh on December 1, 2011.

LBC in Batha (quite obvious eh? :P)

With LBC's Any Box Size Acceptance Promo, even durable drums and oversized boxes are now accommodated. LBC Sea Cargo doesn't have a per kilometer charge, chargeable weight (no per kilo charge) bill of lading, and hidden charges. They offer free pick-up, door-to-door delivery and guaranteed weekly shipping. But get this… when you drop off the box (instead of having them picked it up in your place), you get a SR 15 discount!

(Click for larger version.)

You also get updated regarding your boxes' whereabouts via text alerts. This promo runs from April 1 until June 30, 2013. Prices apply to Riyadh only. LBC's Jeddah and Al-Khobar branches will open soon.

LBC also offers air cargo. For air cargo, they offer sending documents and packages for as low as SR50 and SR60 respectively. The heavier the padala, the lower is the per kilogram charge. (Item may be charged either by volume or by weight.) It doesn't have any per kilometer charge and ships to the Philippines twice a week. You can also send electrical gadgets like cellphones, tablets, and laptops!

Rates for air cargo.

Customers can also follow-up their packages by connecting online with LBC's customer service via LBC Livetalk. Just visit LBC's website or Facebook page for more information.

Now, if you can send a big drum home to the Philippines, what will you send? I'll probably send fresh camel milk or gasoline (because they're cheaper here right?!). Haha. Kidding, kidding. We're sure no matter what the contents of your balikbayan box are, they will bring smiles to your loved ones' faces. :) ~ Sundrenched

My husband and I had a bad experience with LBC Riyadh. We had 2 boxes picked up on June 18. One box arrived in Bicol on August 20 and the other box in Manila on August 28. Imagine more than 70 days of waiting to think that it's not peak season yet. What's worse is their handling. The box that arrived in Bicol had one broken chocolate spread jar and the recipient said "parang binagyo ang laman". The one in Manila which arrived a week later was in a devastated condition, parang dinaig pa ang na-Ondoy. I have sent balikbayan boxes in the past with other cargo companies but everything arrived as how I packed them.

The Pink Tarha said...

@Anonymous 10:04AM: The nearest branch would be Jeddah, although that too is quite far.

@Anonymous 4:31PM: It is unfortunate that you have experienced this. We will forward your comment to LBC.

@Anonymous 10:29AM: It depends on the weight. Kindly visit LBC's site above to check the rates. Thank you!

Good day LBC, Its already 97 days since I sent my balikbayan box and still my family never heared good news from LBC Tacloban. I send my sister today in Tacloban LBC and they are telling they sent back the package to Manila. I would like to make sure the box is not stolen or still in good shape and would be received by my family at the earliest. The balikbayan box was sent in the name of my Saudi Colleage, and the tracking # is 1029430314. I hope you will confirm us where this balikbayan box is now. Thanks for any positive reply!

Hi all, for your inquiries on prices, branches, boxes sent, etc. kindly call the numbers provided above. The Pink Tarha is not directly related to anyone from the LBC Offices. This entry is for your information only.

CDJ: If there's no LBC in Thailand then it is obvious that you cannot send via LBC to anywhere in Saudi Arabia. Thank you.
