Hello!  I am trying to get info if you might know please if how much would be the cost to ship a container of my things from San Francisco to Davao City?  Not that much but probably need a container from preschool furniture that I plan to open when I move there around June or July. Been looking here but looking at the best deals, got a quote for $3000.
Thanks in advance for your time.

The $3,000 is nothing when compared to wht you will pay when it gets here...

As in more than the new cost of the items :(

I looked into this and that sounds very low.  I forget what prices I read about, but they were high enough that I quickly abandoned the idea.  I think it was more like $10K when all is said and done.  I'm going by memory, so take this with a grain of salt.

Thank you. I'm looking at just doing boxes since I don't have a lot of stuff.  For the preschool furniture, I'm thinking of just having it locally made in the Phil. Cheers!

Thanks.  Been thinking of just getting new stuff in the Phil.
