Balikbayan Boxes vs. Online Shops


 
Online Shopping
Using balikbayan boxes is a popular method in sending gifts back to the Philippines. The difference of these boxes compared to conventional packages is its size, which is bigger and bulkier, allowing overseas Filipinos to send a number of items in one packaging.

However, other than the use of balikbayan boxes, many overseas Filipinos have also used the capabilities of online shops and their online gift delivery Philippines to send gifts back home.

Balikbayan Boxes vs. Online Shops Balikbayan boxes were first used as packages for overseas Filipinos returning home from abroad. The main advantage of using these boxes is its size, which allows them to save more on transport than to carry their belongings as well as gifts in separate boxes or bags. Eventually, these boxes were used as a way for them to send gifts back to their loved ones in the Philippines.

However, the disadvantage of using balikbayan boxes is its delivery service. Unlike the use of conventional, smaller, packages, sending a balikbayan box normally takes a lot of time, typically weeks while some have even experienced taking a month. This is because these packages are normally transported through container ships. This is where online shops came in.

Online shops became very popular in the Philippines. Other than just offering their services to Philippine customers, most of these online shops aim to offer their services to overseas Filipinos, allowing them to conveniently, easily, and quickly send gifts back home.

Because of online shops, overseas Filipinos wouldn’t have to put too much effort and time in arranging and organizing a balikbayan box. All that they have to do is to access an online shop, such as MyFlowerDepot, place an order, and fill-up all the required information that they need. This also requires a bank account, because this is where they’ll place their payments.

However, what made online shops more convenient compared to the use of balikbayan boxes is with its online gift delivery Philippines. Compared to taking weeks to even a month, sending gifts online would only take 2 to 5 working days, depending on the gifts sent.

Other online shops can even offer a much faster delivery service, such as with MyFlowerDepot and their online gift delivery Philippines. Other than their wide collection of flowers, which can be sent as gifts in special occasions and non-occasional events, their online delivery services are also known for its efficiency. This is because MyFlowerDepot is one of the few online shops which can offer a free 24-hour delivery service all over the Philippines, even in provinces.

The disadvantage of using online shops, however, is that the items available online are normally very expensive. This is because, other than paying for the items itself, customers are also paying for other expenses such as its convenience as well as delivery services. However, other online shops, such as MyFlowerDepot, can offer much cheaper deals because their delivery services are given for free.For more information visit to our site at http://www.myflowerdepot.com
