We used forex cargo for sending balikbayan box back home. there website says that they have a promo for $70 a box and the offer will end this 30th of the month (january) we dropped it off at the Filipino market before their promo/offer ends and it says that we can track our balikbayan box online but the lady in the store just give us the reciept without tracking number and we paid 100 bucks. does this mean that their website's just nothing? anyone experienced this before? we're located in MN.
just wanna hear you what was your experienced. thank you so much.

I think you got swindled. best clarify it with the person you dealt with before reporting her swindling a$$ to the authorities. if not the authorities, the Forex website should have a contact number for its main office here in the US. you can call them and report that swindler.

Call the Forex office located near you. Forex normally place a sticker with a tracking number that corresponds to your receipt to each box you send.
Next time when you send, just call the Forex office and ask them to pick it up from your house and they will do that for you.
I never had any problem concerning my packages sent to Philippines and am happy with the Forex service.

i had to pay $110 for a box at forex.
i believe that if you sent the box directly at the forex office, then you would have only paid $70. but then you would also have to shoulder the additional expense of sending the box to their office.
since you went through a middle person, their rate is different since they will charge you extra for transporting the box to the forex office as well as additional profit for their business.
btw, in our area, forex does not pick up individual boxes. we had to drop ours off at a filipino store, and forex only came by when there were enough boxes for them to pick up.
we could have dropped the box of ourselves at jacksonville for only $65/ box but a one-way 5-hour drive is just too much especially when we were pressed for time.
also, you should have a pink slip with the tracking number on it. tracking number has a 3-letter prefix before the number.

If they didn't give you the waybill with the tracking number. You might have been swindled. Call Forex asap and give them the info the receipt. or they could have been an agent of forex but had to add some sort of commission.
