Mr Lee Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 See if there is an LBC where you live. My wife and I were in COSTCO the other day and we bunked into a Filipino who works there and he told my wife that he does that as a side business and he only charges $85 a box, whereas we had been paying $119 a box from FOREX. He also told my wife that the LBC boxes are slightly larger than the FOREX boxes, so if they have an LBC near you, then you might save a bunch if shipping a lot of boxes. We have not tried LBC yet but since LBC is all over the Philippines and they do money remittances, and I have not read anything bad about them, it might be worth a try, and we will try them on the next boxes we ship and report back in a new thread about them when we do.

LBC only has branches in Sydney and Melbourne and not Brisbane so that one is out, I did check their price which was $100 a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
