Apart from things with sentimental value, I'd suggest just buying everything new when you get here. It's probably cheaper than shipping all your stuff from the US.

Between shipping, customs, taxes and under-the-table payoffs, you could furnish a whole house with brand-new furniture and appliances for less. Plus all your appliances are 110V, which has workarounds but is a real pain.

I can't believe furniture from LA is better than the gorgeous handmade real-wood pieces in the Philippines. I'd sell all your stuff and buy new.

I only had really bad experiences shipping a 20ft with all our belongings, and customs screwed us. They just wouldn't release it, and it took our VA cash lump sum, separate from the shipping cost. If you do go ahead, put all the good stuff in the back half and the old junk in the front. They'll cut the international shipping seal to look inside, and you can guess the rest.. You need a broker, and they work hand in hand with customs... Good luck

I've used Santa Ge for shipping to various countries. Always very professional
