Balita ko nga sobrang mahal pag galing pinas. Mas makakamura ka pa yata pag nagbayad ka ng excess baggage sa flight mo eh. Yun nga lang hirap ka sa pagbitbit ng lahat ng yun. Lalo na pagbaba mo ng airport papuntang destination mo na. Baka di magkasya sa sasakyan.

Although they have their own box, masyadong maliit para maka-20kgs. Sayang naman. Bili ka na lang outside basta sundin mo lang dimension ng box.
