It was a pleasure to help you guys! Compare to others moving from other areas in the US to other destinations around the world, the costs were not too much. At Econoshippers, we'll try our best to help.
Thank you for this video. I was born and raised in Bohol but now residing in the US. A shipping container is the best option to bring with us the sentimental “junks” that we have accumulated through the years when we go back and live in the Philippines.
Guess that we learn after the experience either is good or bad. Vfamily thank you! cause this surely will help a lot of people planning to move back or to move in the phillippines.
Tried to watch this video but it's unwatchable with all the cutoffs, interruptions, and two people talking. Wish you'd do a clean version of this story cause the info is valuable.
I'm truly envious. I've been with my lovely Filipina for 3 years (married for 2) and desperately wanting to finally be united as a family. She has been in Luzon since we married, while my son and I have been in the States. It's been so stressful trying to get us all together finally. This video was helpful in seeing possible associated costs with a potential move. Just so concerned about the overall moving costs and the transition for my son (Elementary age). Once established it'll be all good as my monthly income would be enough to sustain our livelihood and with the Grace of God allow us to finally expand our family.
Really helpful guys. We are building on Siquijor and I want to send various construction items and furniture. Im certain there will be VAT and duties. I wondered if you know about this type of shipment?
Hi, I just saw your video about moving your stuff from the US to the Philippines. We actually did the same thing in March 2019 from Sacramento, California to Cebu because my husband retired from his job in January 2019. We’ve been here for over two years now. Our mover was Atlas Shipping Co. and we paid $10,500 for the shipment from California all the way to Cebu. We were told in California that oir container van
will still be the same van when it arrives in Cebu but it didn’t happen. Our things were transferred to a wing van as soon as it arrived in the Manila port. I was actually disappointed when I saw it because I was scared I might have boxes stolen when it was transferred to a wing van. I had over a hundred boxes and for sure I wouldn’t remember what those things in the boxes really are. Yes, I lost one or maybe more boxes because I couldn’t locate some of my other things. I was complaining to the person in Manila who was communicating with me about my cargo van but he never answered. Lesson learned I should have gotten an insurance when I contracted the shipping company in California. Anyway, my husband is very happy to have retired and lived here in Cebu for good. I have fun watching your vlog.
About that converter can you tell what brand it is ? We are getting ready to build a house and trying to decide to use converters, transformer or wire to USA standards
Thank you guys, i learned something. I have a friend from Bohol, they stay there during winter and comeback on spring. Enjoy Phil. I wish your family all the best. 🌞
Wow, thanks for sharing your experience. I’m from Cebu and that is so good to hear i can bring some of my stuff too. Can you please share your broker from the Philippines. Did you try to take your car as well?
Hello, do you have to pay duty tax in the Philippines, returning Filipino they said is Tax Free. We are planning on retiring in the Philippines. I'm U.S. Citizen been in the U.S. for 40 years. We decided retired back home. Thanks
Thanks for posting this video VFAMILY big help talaga ito. We live in belgium and moving to Philippines next year. Now we have idea of this shipping thing sa pinas, I guess benta na lang namin mga gamit namin and just put into balikbayanbox yung mga mahahalagang bagay. Nakaka stress po talaga makipag transac sa pinas.. anyways God bless to your family.
Thanks for the info on the shipping.. knowledge is power. My question is did the TV survive? And are you able to use it due to the different electrical system in PH?
Oh yeah! Love it and the same model is more than double the price here. I did buy a good step down converter to be safe for 3000 php ($60). Dee Bull you are right knowledge is power. We may have incurred some additional expenses but aren't in the dark any more. #WouldDoItAgain
How do I get a list so I know what is acceptable for me to bring to the Philippines from Canada who is just married ? Motorcycle ? car ? shop tools ? furniture ? clothing ? bicycles ?
Your info is right!!! Your broker here in the USA mess you up. Next time find a forwarding company here in the USA which has a company owned in the Philippines. No third party broker. Your broker here in the USA must be knowledgeable all the process in the Philippines from point A to Z.
Great information. We are looking at shipping a 20ft container to Dumaguete. How much would have the smaller container saved you? Would demurrage fees have been less with the 20 ft? Seems like your experience was business as usual in the Philippines. Do you feel like you were treated fairly from Cebu to your place? Did this bother you at all or do you just expect that there will be unexpected expenses? Thanks in advance for your assistance
Hi Mike. From the USA it would have saved approx $600 and then at least that much again when passing through Cebu. The US customs and border patrol additional $2000 really effected the total cost. From what I hear it is random #badluck. All in all we are satisfied looking at the bright side of things. Contact Janice at RJ Brokerage Cebu. She is a straight shooter with good connections. Tell her The VFamily sent ya. Best of luck.
Thanks. Great info plus a positive attitude. We are going to give it a shot ourselves. We like our household stuff and my construction tools. It would be very hard to replace everything.
Hello Sis new subscriber here lookinh for containers also online until nakita ko yong blog nyo.Maam pwede ask kung anung murag shipping ang kinuha nyo kc hanap ako wla pa ako nhanap we will move to the Philippines on September this year.Slamat
OMG THANKYOU FOR SHOWING TJIS TO US... THIS WILL REALLY HELP... I CANT EMAGINE HOW MUCH WE HAVE TO SPEND FOR OUR 40FT CONTAINER... WOOOPING $15K JUST TO SHIP OUR HOUSEHOLDS.... SHIPPING FROM SEATTLE TO MINDANAO.. LUCKILY WE SCHEDULED IT FOR OCTOBER. .NOW WE STILL HAVE TIME TO DO SOME MORE RESEARCH FOR CHEAP ONES...THANKYOU
Hello I am also from washington.I read yiur message here.May I Know what shipping company from Washington State that we can rent to ship our household stuffs and 1 truck please...Thank you so much.my name is Meliden T. Parkinson
This series SHIPPING THE 40Ft CONTAINER was probably the most informative step-by-step series I have ever seen and I thank you so much. When you first posted saying shipping was only $4,000.00...I showed it to my wife. This was great news. Today's video sure made me do some serious thinking. Just like you, I have things that won't fit in a balikbayan box. What's the rent on that house?
Hi David! Thanks a million for the kind words. We think it can be done for approx $7500. Cheaper if you are going to Manila or Cebu. Good luck God Bless 🙏
Hi, I'm not sure if they charged you guys with tax, its not in your breakdown. I'm shipping a lot of high-end electronics stuff ( Marantz, Bower & wilkens, Thermador etc.) all are used . Thanks
Hi there 👋 We chose to go the "Personal Effects" route which does not tax items individually. It is flat rate so to speak. Included in the Brokerage charge even though not labeled. I would talk to Janice @ RJ BROKERAGE Mandue Cebu. Tell her The VFamily sent ya. She is good 👍 just bad timing with the administration change.
Thank You Sooooooooo much. Your honesty & enthusiasm shined through, through this entire process. God Bless You All...May your new life in the Philippines be the most Awesome and Worthwhile experience ever.
Thanks brother! Got a little over excited about sharing the details hence the talking too fast and over Micca😁 Glad to have you as part of The VFamily! #SeeYouInTheFuture
Wow. Sorry it was so much but thank you for taking the time to go through all the details. We all learned a lot from your experience. For me I would consider it worthwhile, it’s nice to have your own things instead of spending all the time to get rid of them in your home country and rebuying then in the Philippines. To be honest I expected the duties to be higher but didn’t think of the storage fees while in transit. Thanks again.
Oh my God thanks marami kaming natutunan sainyo container send isa na Yung bumili nalang ng bagong gamit Kung mag migrate o mag stay na ng pilipinas thanks guys balak pa Naman ng husband Kong if he's retired in her job their in Japan to stay in Philippine also ngayon Alam nanamin grabe Ang custom SA pinas
sis i have a question i am also a filipina with american husbnad what is the visa your husband is holding to live permanently in the Philippines is it the SSRV? thank you for your reply
I think if I ever move there I will sell everything. That process made too nervous. But I am happy you got your stuff and the kids had their playground and toys. More to pick up now haha
We actually talk about it in a vlog somewhere🙄 Looked into shipping our 2017 Honda Odyssey. Definitely not worth it unless you have a huge connection. Better to sale and buy here👍 #ImportFeesWayTooHigh
I think people see that number or hear it and sorta freak out due to the cost of living there. But we spent $4k just to move 295 miles here in the states. You basically shipped 10k of stuff for 10k. So by American math thats actully cheap.
Thanks for posting this video, your info is a big help😉. we are planning to ship our household stuff to the Philippines too. I wonder if you guys get the balikbayan tax exemption.
Hello. i am moving 5 years of house hold good and furnishings from Cebu back the the U.S. so my issue is the exact opposite of yours, but, I would like to get in contact with the young lady you spoke of named Janice. I really have not had any luck finding a company to ship from the PH to the U.S. I would appreciate any information you can share with me.
What's up James👋 Not sure about shipping to USA. Janice is very informative. Be sure to tell her you from The VFamily. Janice: rjcustomsbrokerage@gmail.com
Hi may I know about the tax? I have read a Filipino living abroad for more than 10 years has 350,000 tax exemption, is it for the whole family or each family member?
Thank you for sharing your actual numbers and lessons learned. We are planning a move from the US to Mexico after our residency visas are approved and your video helps us with our planning process! Moving internationally with kids, it is not so easy to just get rid of everything and only bring 2 suitcases. So I appreciate your sharing the cost so that we can get an idea of how much we'd need potentially! Hope you guys are well! :-)
Great information and tips on how to ship items from U.S. to P.I. I have one question and I really hope you can give me an answer. How detailed you have to be in labeling the boxes, do you need to itemized everything what's in the box. Let's say a box full of clothes, do you need to specify how many pants, tops, shorts, underwear in each boxes. I really appreciate any information you can give us, thank you.
Were getting our Ass out of Missouri headed to The Philippines as soon as School is out(If possible due to the Virus)gonna do the same you guys did the only thing I'm worried about is once everything Arrives is P.I.how much is it gonna cost us just to get our Stuff,Iv'e been there 22 times and things work a little Different there,Thank you guys for all the Info.
I heard that! Congratulations! You are right about not knowing. Janice from RJ Brokerage Cebu ultimately came through for us👍 Did you already send the container?
Well I guess me, if we will move in the Philippines, I only send my stuff in balikbayan box, but only my kitchen stuff. Cheaper that way. Container omg so so expensive
Shipping???!!! My experienced was two decades ago. Philippine mahogany furnitures custom made. They were the furnitures we used when we were leaving in the PI (about 12 years). Amount paid $2500.00 (more or less), arrived in Long Beach, CA after 15 weeks. Container was with other Furniture Exporter Company (maker of our furniture) made with same wood.
Hello thank you for your post. We live in Richmond, VA. Grabe kamahal pala ng gagastusin balak ko pa man din sana iuwi dalawang motor ko. hayysss!!! presyo na ng bagong DUCATI yun!!! ERRRRR!!!!
Omg oo pag sasakyan mahal tax para ka narin bumili ng bago, asawa ko may 30 yrs old Yamaha motorbike at dadalhin namin, curious ako now magkano ang tax 🙈
@@whatwedotogethermattersmost It may be a few years before we return to the Philippines as well, but keep us in mind as well. My thinking is that we can purchase things like generators, along with our appliances we already have and ship them to the Philippines instead of purchasing them there. Stuff be very expensive in the Philippines!
That's a lot cheaper than we paid from the UK to Australia which costs $15,000 plus. And within Australia from one state to another state, it costs $9,000. Ridiculously expensive.
my wife said your wife's accent is so bisaya, just like hers. We will be moving to Davao in the next 12 months and shipping our household goods by container too.
❤❤ Just watched your video. It's September 17, 2021 . I'm looking to move to the Philippines very soon. I drove big rigs for 29 years. I was thinking that it would cost you around $4,000 or $5,000 at least just to get it from Florida to California.
I think ...this is for my own opinion., and maybe mali ako but.... Yung sa U.S. i don't think there's any hanky panky or "red tape".. pagdating dito sa Pinas..doubtful ako na malinis ang lahat ng siningil sa inyo. 🤔nandyan na yan mabuti na rin nakarating na sa inyo matagal nyo din inantay na i release . God Bless VFamily.😊😍
My Filipino Finance are planning to move to the Philippines (we'll be Married by then). I really want to bring a couple of sets of bedroom furniture, My (deceased) Parents Dinning Room set, Silverware, China set & Various other miscellaneous furnishings, and some tools. I believe I can get everything into a 20 foot container. We plan to keep it simple, & bring no liquids, that I believe cost them a ton, compared to the cost of purchasing on location... Good luck in your ventures as well
US. Customs examination is more popular on the import side. But it does happen from time to time on the export side too. And when it happens, the shipper/ exporter of record will pay for all US customs exams. At Econoshippers, we have the customer pays directly to customs, we do not include these charges in our invoice. This is why it is important to make sure your containers are loaded properly, blocked and braced, so nothing will be heard shaking or else. This can trigger a customs preliminary X-ray, then extensive exam.
Customs seems shady in where ever country they are at. I believe if the sniffing dogs doesn't smell anything unusual. Let the containers go. Greedy bastards. Lol!
Neither did we😮 However, Balikbayan boxes are $110 each so actually 90 and we had approx 200 items. Many that save us time and money not replacing. If it hadn't been for added charges, we would have been even happier but we try to look on the bright side.👍
@@whatwedotogethermattersmost Shipping Balikbayan boxes from your area is expensive... its $58.00 in California to ship them to Iloilo. "replacing" is the key word lol. You could have bought many of those items here in the Philippines but you would be "replacing" them due to the poor build quality.
Was the stuff you shipped in the container worth $10,000 or more? You could've just sold all your stuff in the US and used the money plus the money you would've used for shipping to buy new stuff in the Philippines.
OMG...hala ka oi! Over nman, grabe im sure ang iba jan napunta sa bulsa ng tao sa custom! As recently may nakita a employee in custom nahuli dahil sa nanghihingi ng lagay...it was in youtube ko nabasa...haisssst...#justsaying #onlymyopinion...

Not sure about shipping to USA. Janice is very informative. Be sure to tell her you from The VFamily. Janice: rjcustomsbrokerage@gmail.com
So what happened to the container? Did you purchase it or was it rented?
It was just used for the shipping.
Hi may I know about the tax? I have read a Filipino living abroad for more than 10 years has 350,000 tax exemption, is it for the whole family or each family member?
Not sure about those exemptions. Our container was all inclusive.
Can you recommend possibly a good broker friend

I also send balik Bayan box instead of doing container, sobrang mahal
I would love that too only balikbayan box, but if you have a lot of nice furniture that has sentimental value it's good to get a container.
Shipping???!!! My experienced was two decades ago. Philippine mahogany furnitures custom made. They were the furnitures we used when we were leaving in the PI (about 12 years). Amount paid $2500.00 (more or less), arrived in Long Beach, CA after 15 weeks. Container was with other Furniture Exporter Company (maker of our furniture) made with same wood.
Hello thank you for your post. We live in Richmond, VA. Grabe kamahal pala ng gagastusin balak ko pa man din sana iuwi dalawang motor ko. hayysss!!! presyo na ng bagong DUCATI yun!!! ERRRRR!!!!
Omg oo pag sasakyan mahal tax para ka narin bumili ng bago, asawa ko may 30 yrs old Yamaha motorbike at dadalhin namin, curious ako now magkano ang tax 🙈
Im interested if you want to split the cost guys...I got stuff I need to send some stuff please...let me know so I can start packing
It will be awhile before we ship again but will let you know👍
@@whatwedotogethermattersmost thanks i got up to 7 yrs heheh im by kansas city as well
@@whatwedotogethermattersmost It may be a few years before we return to the Philippines as well, but keep us in mind as well. My thinking is that we can purchase things like generators, along with our appliances we already have and ship them to the Philippines instead of purchasing them there. Stuff be very expensive in the Philippines!
That's a lot cheaper than we paid from the UK to Australia which costs $15,000 plus. And within Australia from one state to another state, it costs $9,000. Ridiculously expensive.
its a good learning experience. i read some of the comments below and notice how immature some Filipino are. don't mind them. keep it up!
Thanks a million for the kind words and encouragement! #WeTryToLookAtTheBrightSide
YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!😘😘😘😘😘😘
God bless sis👍🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵ng nagbagahe rin me from japan to makati ang mhal nkkakonsumi
my wife said your wife's accent is so bisaya, just like hers. We will be moving to Davao in the next 12 months and shipping our household goods by container too.
That's awesome and exciting. Like to see how your experience turns out...
Can i ask how was your experience shipping to davao? Do they usually open the container and check?
@@oes82 HI, We ahve not moved yet. We have postponed moving until summer 2026 to allow our son to finish high school in the states.
❤❤ Just watched your video. It's September 17, 2021 . I'm looking to move to the Philippines very soon. I drove big rigs for 29 years. I was thinking that it would cost you around $4,000 or $5,000 at least just to get it from Florida to California.
Gosh! How much more with motorcycles and cars in it.
A lot and not so practical!
Love you VFamily God bless you always, 😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks for the ❤️ Glad to have you in The VFamily!
Omg….I’d rather buy stuff in the new place ..too costly 😱😅🥵
Pastilan Universe...pwede ng House and Lot ( bungalow )Ms.Micca. kasama na dyan of course ang para sa mga bulsa nila. OMG.
Cool T-shirt. I want one
Thanks Bruce😉
Thank you for the information, so, I would not do ours anymore. I rather buy new one in Philippines.
uhm... so the cost is the same if i ship a motorcycle from us to philippines?
i would really like to know more. please
is it gonna cost me more if i include 2 motorcycles in the container along with my home stuffs?
Yes definitely. All motor vehicles will be charge separately and i don't think it would be worth it. 🙄😔
I think ...this is for my own opinion., and maybe mali ako but.... Yung sa U.S. i don't think there's any hanky panky or "red tape".. pagdating dito sa Pinas..doubtful ako na malinis ang lahat ng siningil sa inyo. 🤔nandyan na yan mabuti na rin nakarating na sa inyo matagal nyo din inantay na i release . God Bless VFamily.😊😍
Wow expensive! That money, you can built house in the Philippines
My Filipino Finance are planning to move to the Philippines (we'll be Married by then). I really want to bring a couple of sets of bedroom furniture, My (deceased) Parents Dinning Room set, Silverware, China set & Various other miscellaneous furnishings, and some tools.
I believe I can get everything into a 20 foot container. We plan to keep it simple, & bring no liquids, that I believe cost them a ton, compared to the cost of purchasing on location...
Good luck in your ventures as well
We believe if we did it again, knowing what we know now. It would cost approx $7500. That's quite good and even better if split with someone 😉
C inday? madame n?!
😍😍
not worth it I'am shocked at that price.. Specially how you have to pay customs for them to search your container
The US customs was the big surprise!
US. Customs examination is more popular on the import side. But it does happen from time to time on the export side too. And when it happens, the shipper/ exporter of record will pay for all US customs exams. At Econoshippers, we have the customer pays directly to customs, we do not include these charges in our invoice. This is why it is important to make sure your containers are loaded properly, blocked and braced, so nothing will be heard shaking or else. This can trigger a customs preliminary X-ray, then extensive exam.
Ang laki sis hehe
My stuff is not even worth $3,000
Customs seems shady in where ever country they are at. I believe if the sniffing dogs doesn't smell anything unusual. Let the containers go. Greedy bastards. Lol!
I like your shirt bro, where can I get one
😁 Found mine at department store SM Seaside Cebu! #VinDiesel
until now you cant move on guys hahaha the container has arrived and the damage has done. enjoy!!
Wow I didn't think it would cost that much... that's the same price as sending 200 Balikbayan boxes lol.
Neither did we😮 However, Balikbayan boxes are $110 each so actually 90 and we had approx 200 items. Many that save us time and money not replacing. If it hadn't been for added charges, we would have been even happier but we try to look on the bright side.👍
@@whatwedotogethermattersmost Shipping Balikbayan boxes from your area is expensive... its $58.00 in California to ship them to Iloilo. "replacing" is the key word lol. You could have bought many of those items here in the Philippines but you would be "replacing" them due to the poor build quality.
😘😘😘
Thanks Cupcake🧁#MuchLove
Was the stuff you shipped in the container worth $10,000 or more? You could've just sold all your stuff in the US and used the money plus the money you would've used for shipping to buy new stuff in the Philippines.

@@whatwedotogethermattersmost Thanks for the input bruh 👍
Grabe too corrupt brokers
OMG...hala ka oi! Over nman, grabe im sure ang iba jan napunta sa bulsa ng tao sa custom! As recently may nakita a employee in custom nahuli dahil sa nanghihingi ng lagay...it was in youtube ko nabasa...haisssst...#justsaying #onlymyopinion...
