The inspiration for the Mac Pack Box Relocation Service comes from the vibrant Filipino community here in Dubai. One of the most cherished customs among Filipinos is the sending of Balikbayan boxes. These boxes are filled with gifts, household items, clothing, and other essentials, and are shipped to loved ones in the Philippines. This tradition has become an integral part of Filipino culture, symbolising not just the transfer of material goods, but also a profound gesture of love, care, and support, particularly for those separated from their families due to work or immigration.
The term “Balikbayan” itself translates to “returning home” in Filipino. Mac Pack Box Relocation Service is designed to assist you leaving Dubai in the journey of “returning home” to the UK. Much like the Balikbayan boxes, our service allows you to pack their personal effects into secure boxes, reflecting the spirit and care embodied in the Balikbayan tradition.
Offering a door-to-door service, we ensure meticulous handling, transporting and tracking of your items, guaranteeing that your personal belongings arrive safely at your doorstep in the UK. Whether it’s clothing, sentimental mementos, books or souvenirs of your time here in the UAE, we will get your belongings home. If you have a few pieces of furniture or items that don’t fit into a box please give us a call as we will be able to offer you a solution.

Volume
Shipping costs are determined by the total volume of items shipped, with a minimum requirement of 1 cubic metre (cbm). You are not required to ship a full 1 cubic metre (cbm), but it’s important to know that the cost of shipping anything less than 1 cbm is the same as shipping 1 cbm.
You can mix different box sizes to reach this volume.
A large box is 0.3 cbm, a medium box is 0.2 cbm, and a small box is 0.05 cbm.
For instance, you could choose 3 large boxes (3 x 0.3) or 2 large boxes (0.3 cbm + 0.3 cbm) and 2 medium boxes (0.2 cbm + 0.2 cbm) or even 20 small boxes (20 x 0.05 cbm).
You can choose to ship more than 1 cubic metre (cbm) if needed. The final cost will be based on the total volume you decide to ship to the UK.
Please contact us if you have items that are too large to fit in a box. We can make a bespoke box for your larger items.
Weight
Choose your boxes based on the weight of the items you are packing. In the UK, there are strict heavy lifting rules, and boxes must not exceed 30kg.
Any box over 30kg will incur extra “heavy lifting” charges upon arrival. To avoid these fees, be mindful of how you pack.
Place heavier items like books in small boxes and lighter items like soft furnishings in larger boxes.
Delivery Address
The cost of door-to-door shipment in the UK depends on the distance from London to your delivery address.
Most shipments enter the UK through London Gateway, so the further your address is from London, the higher the delivery cost.
While the volume of your shipment does affect the overall delivery cost, the difference in price between delivering 1 cubic metre (cbm) or 3 cbm is minimal.
With these simple steps, Mac Pack Box Relocation Service ensures a seamless and stress-free relocation experience to the UK.
