For not so familiar with Balikbayan box, A balikbayan box (literally "repatriate box") is a corrugated box containing items sent by Filipinos living in United States or other countries outside the Philippines (known as "balikbayans"). Shipped by freight forwarders specializing in Balikbayan boxes by sea cargo. Part of the attraction of the balikbayan box is its economic value, as it allows cheaper bulk shipment of items via sending each individually or in smaller boxes through postal services.
