Balikbayan Box Shipping
Answers about sending balikbayan boxes, delivery timing, pickup, cancellation, and receiver details.
How can I send a balikbayan box with LOGO Cargo?
Customers can start with the booking guidance page, contact their nearest branch or LOGO Cargo support, or use the LOGO Mobile App when available. Pickup, drop-off, and branch availability can vary by location, so confirm current details before preparing a shipment.
Can I drop off instead of scheduling pickup?
Customers can book a pickup or arrange branch drop-off through LOGO Cargo. Pickup, drop-off, schedule, and branch availability can vary, so confirm current booking details before preparing a shipment.
How do I confirm current balikbayan box rates?
Review the rates and pricing guidance, then confirm exact rates through an official LOGO Cargo branch or support. Pricing can vary by origin, destination, route, box size, pickup or drop-off option, promo availability, and service conditions.
Is LOGO Cargo balikbayan box delivery door to door?
Yes. LOGO Cargo balikbayan boxes are delivered to the receiver address in the Philippines, subject to current service coverage and delivery conditions.
How long does balikbayan box delivery take?
Delivery time depends on the receiver address and current processing conditions. Typical estimates are 40-45 days for Luzon, 40-65 days for Visayas, and 60-90 days for Mindanao. Ship schedules, weather, customs processing, warehouse processing, and peak seasons can cause delays.
How long does delivery take after the box reaches the Philippines?
After a shipment reaches the Philippines, it may still need customs processing, deconsolidation, sorting, transfer to a local hub, and route scheduling. Local delivery is usually completed within a few days after the shipment is processed and ready for dispatch, but exact dates are not always available.
Can I send multiple balikbayan boxes?
Yes. Customers can send multiple boxes. Boxes from the same shipment may still be processed, routed, or delivered separately depending on warehouse sorting and local delivery scheduling.
Is there a weight limit for a balikbayan box?
Keep the box manageable enough to be lifted and handled safely. If a box is too heavy, extra charges or handling review may be assessed during pickup after the driver checks the shipment. Splitting very heavy contents into more than one box can help reduce damage risk.
Can I use my own box?
Customers may use their own box when it matches an accepted size and is sturdy enough for shipping. Travel boxes are designed for personal travel or check-in luggage and are not intended for standard balikbayan box shipping.
Can I cancel after booking?
Cancellation may be allowed before pickup or processing. If the shipment is still pending pickup, request cancellation by emailing cs@logocargo.com or contacting customer support as early as possible.
Can I reschedule pickup?
Pickup schedule changes need to be confirmed by the branch or support team. To update an existing pickup schedule, contact the branch or email cs@logocargo.com for assistance.
What information should I prepare before pickup?
Complete the booking details before pickup, including sender and receiver information. Keep both sender and receiver names on the box, and have the receiver address, receiver contact number, box count, and shipment questions ready for the branch or support team.
Do I need both sender and receiver names?
Yes. Include both the sender name and the receiver name on the box. The booking details should also include sender and receiver information so LOGO Cargo can process the shipment.
Do I need to provide the consignee contact number?
Yes. The consignee contact number is required for delivery in the Philippines. Without a receiver contact number, delivery cannot be completed.
What if my box is lost?
Report the issue immediately to cs@logocargo.com with the invoice or tracking number. LOGO Cargo support can review the shipment record and guide the next steps.
