Empty boxes go by PostNL (€ 13,90 for up to 5 boxes). We also collect a €10 deposit per empty box. It is deducted from the shipping fee when we pick the full box up. Import duty only applies if the contents are not balikbayan family goods.
How long it takes
Typically 8–12 weeks. We do not promise a day.
Pick-up and warehouse
About a week, depending on your area.
Rotterdam port
Around 5 days before the vessel sails.
At sea
Usually 6–7 weeks to Manila or Cebu.
Customs and last mile
1–5 weeks for most boxes after the container arrives.
If a sailing is full, leftover boxes go on the next container — we tell you. See the current schedule →

Why families stay with LVM
Clear prices. Strong boxes. Our own containers.
Since 2011 we have shipped family support goods — balikbayan boxes — and nothing else as a side business. We only fill containers that belong to us. That is slower to sell, and safer for your box.
- Four carton sizes, made in Germany and the Netherlands, with a four-layer bottom
- Security tape included — it is not sold in the Philippines, so tampering shows
- The only DTI-registered balikbayan forwarder in the Netherlands
- Dutch KvK company, not a private person collecting cargo
