Appliances Shipping Cost from Chisinau to Manila

Shipping to the Philippines costs vary widely, from around $20 for light items via economy services to over $100 for heavier packages, depending on weight, speed (economy vs. express), and carrier, with options like USPS, DHL, FedEx, and UPS offering different price points and transit times, often starting at $40-$60 for 1-4 lb packages.

Fastest/reliable: DHL Express. Best balance speed/cost/options: FedEx International or UPS Worldwide. Cheapest for small parcels: USPS Priority Mail International or Gmail-tier First-Class for very light items. Best for high volume/palettes: freight forwarder / consolidator or 3PL with EU warehousing.

Sending a Balikbayan box from the US to the Philippines typically takes 6 to 10 weeks, but can vary from 4 weeks to 3-4 months, depending on the company, your specific Philippine location (Manila is fastest, Visayas/Mindanao slowest), and peak seasons like holidays. Expect delays due to customs, container filling, and carrier routing, with sea cargo being the standard, while air cargo (faster, pricier) is an option for urgent items.
