Article 2: Transport Conditions
2.1 Transport will only take place in the Balik Bayan boxes provided by Phil. 4 You, unless otherwise agreed. These boxes are part of the Vivo Bonito Service and have dimensions of approximately 55 x 50 x 38 cm. Phil. 4 You will deliver the boxes on order. The prices, as mentioned on the website, are all-inclusive. Any other offered boxes are not covered by these transport conditions set by Phil. 4 You and are therefore not insured unless otherwise agreed.
2.2 The boxes must be completely wrapped with high-quality tape. Gray duct tape is strongly discouraged due to the heat at the destination. Boxes or packages that deviate from the external dimensions of approximately 55 x 50 x 38 cm cannot be shipped unless agreed otherwise.

2.4 All boxes shipped with Phil. 4 You have a weight limitation.

• Vivo Bonito box (approximately 55 x 50 x 38 cm): 25 kilograms
• Air Cargo 5 kilograms, 10 kilograms, and 22 kilograms (depending on the size)

Boxes heavier than the recommended weight are excluded from insurance, and any offers are not applicable in this case. Moreover, there is a high chance that our shipping partner will charge extra costs. These costs will be passed on to the customer. In that case, customers should expect a surcharge of approximately €75,- excluding VAT.

This email contains the invoice for the ordered service. In the case of cash payment, the customer receives a proof of payment. This receipt must be kept because without this proof of shipment, no damage claims will be processed.

4.5 Phil. 4 You ensures that the customer receives a valid shipping label; the boxes with this label must be submitted to a DPD service point. There are no additional costs for this, provided that the maximum weight of 25 kilograms and the general shipping conditions are met.
4.6 From the moment the boxes are handed over to our LBC partner, the additional conditions of LBC apply. These are stated in Article 8.
4.7 The transport of packages to our LBC partner in Milan is carried out by DPD Netherlands and is subject to DPD’s strict parcel service terms and conditions. Due to the nature of the shipment, which often consists of second-hand or individually purchased items, it is not possible to insure the contents of the box. DPD requires clear purchase receipts to be provided, containing the following details: the name of the company/store, a description of the item matching the packing list, and the purchase date and price. If clear purchase receipts that match the information on the packing list cannot be provided, no claims for loss or damage to the shipment can be made.
4.8 If we nonetheless file a claim, Phil. 4 You is entirely dependent on DPD’s assessment. Should DPD decide to reject the claim, Phil. 4 You is not liable for any compensation to the customer. By sending packages through this service, the sender agrees to these terms and conditions.
