What is a Balikbayan Box?
A balikbayan box is a care package sent by overseas Filipinos (OFWs) to their families in the Philippines. The word "balikbayan" means "returning to one's country" — and these boxes are a beloved tradition that keeps families connected across the miles.
Typically filled with clothes, food, toiletries, toys, and household items, balikbayan boxes are an affordable way to send goods in bulk. Most providers offer door-to-door delivery from the UK to anywhere in the Philippines.
Boxes come in various sizes — from small boxes for a few items to extra-large boxes for bigger shipments. Delivery usually takes 6–8 weeks by sea freight, though some providers offer faster air freight options.
Disclaimer
Prices and delivery times are indicative and updated periodically. Always check the provider's website for the latest information. Kabayan Connect is not affiliated with any of these providers.
