Hello jcsantamarina.
Did your relatives have to take out the 809 from its original carton box then repacked with bubble wraps? My friend and I also got an 809 (nagka-kulaman kaming dalawa) and we're discussing if the sealed Onkyo box would fit as is in a balikbayan box.
Cheers!
Good question bro!
Hehehe.. Hindi kasya! We had to unpack and wrap with towels
and yung Magic cleaner foams ng biyenan ko..
Plus they're also asking if they can pack it sideways. sabi ko no. Worst case scenario is the front panel should face up. Tama ba?
Magaling naman mag-pack family ko. Kasi I import stuff regularly naman. Make sure maganda lang padding.
Oh one more thing.. my mom suggested to re-pack also even before it arrived to avoid the unnecessary "customs" inquiries. Hehehe.. Pasko kasi. Kahit hindi commercial quantity, maraming "alam mo na"..
