UMAC Tracking Tool

For 4 years, I have been using UMAC cargo for all the boxes that I sent back to the Philippines. I have no problem with all the Balikbayan boxes that I sent to my family. They are in good condition when it arrived home so; I highly recommend this cargo company. For this month, the Jumbo box cost $70 in total. You pay $5 for the box and when you are ready to send, just pay $65. The prices will change without prior notice.
To make sure, you should call your Filipino store to know the exact prices of the box for this month. Here is the tracking tool of UMAC Balikbayan Box:
1. Visit umaccargo.net
2. Click the country of your location
3. Scroll down and find : TRACK YOUR BOX
4. Just follow the instructions. Once the box is in the Philippines, it will have an update and info of your box. If there is none then, your box is still on the way to the Philippines.

Send your box here: M&M Philippine Mart 7339 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32807 Phone Number: (407) 281-6999.

UMAC Balikbayan Box

I bet some of you are tired hearing about boxes opened by the customs or items lost, right? I was one of the thousands who became a victim of this mishap. I was using Manila Forwarders when I was in Mississippi and UMAC in Florida. It was the box that I sent last September and arrived December which was hugely opened with X on the side!

I sent it through Manila Forwarders and it was my first and last box sent from them. 1/3 of the items in the box were gone! My lessons? Do not put any metal which are numerous. It triggers the custom to open my box probably because of the garden tools that I sent. Anyway, even if I complain, it is still useless! Philippine customs, if you open the box, make sure to seal it back properly because the public will never know who is the culprit! Bravo to UMAC, for 3 years, my boxes arrived safely and in good condition! Manila Forwarders, I have been using your company for a year and sad to say, I had a bad experienced! One box is all it takes! UMAC tracking here: umaccargo.net/tracking/

Balikbayan Box: Manila Forwarders

I was so impressed with Manila Forwarders, a balikbayan box delivery service that I used here in Mississippi. It is $30 more than UMAC but, I am using the Jumbo box and I noticed that exactly 4 weeks, the box is already in Manila. It will take less than two weeks before delivery but, it is still FAST for me. My mother told me that Manila Forwarders cover the box with a huge plastic cellophane for protection. So far, I am satisfied with their service and the family who is in-charge in receiving the box here in Biloxi-Ocean Springs area is truly TRUSTWORTHY. I highly recommend this company if you want to send a Balikbayan Box to your family back home.

Update: The box did not arrived on this date of the POST.

Balikbayan Box: UMAC Cargo ... Bravo

If you want to track your UMAC BOX, check the site at the bottom of this post. If there is no record, it would mean the box did not arrive in the Philippines yet.I sent these boxes last January 8th, post Christmas give aways...hehehe. I sent these boxes in this store in Orlando, somewhere in Colonial Drive and I paid $120 for both. The woman in charged said, it would arrive after 3 months. So, I just said okay. But, then, my mother said they got it last Thursday. It is actually pretty fast. So, Bravo to this store and to UMAC company. I trusted them already. I still have 3 more boxes coming. Maybe , in 10 days more it will arrive. They were so excited. I tried sending chocolates, it is still in good shape. LOL! I might send another box this month. Try UMAC company. I recommend them so far. Tracking site for UMAC: umaccargo.net/tracking/

Balikbayan Box in Orlando

If you are relocated in Orlando, Florida and wanted to send Balikbayan Boxes to your love ones, Just go to Colonial Drive and this is just along the highway, the establishment is called Philippine Mart.
The boxes price varies.....jumbo is $89.oo and the small is only $15.00 but, you can't send the small box alone, it should be together with the jumbo. If it's peak season, this prices would go up high for $20 more.
