We can't open them

balikbayan box
Philippines
November 12, 2019 5:17pm CST
My aunts will be visiting the first week of next month but before that they sent repatriation / balikbayan box. But after the third box came, once more we were told not to open them until they arrive. I understand but these boxes are taking up space, it's really annoying. It could be mom's fault for opening boxes in the past and giving it to random people.

It would be annoying to have these boxes taking up a lot of room.

I guess the sender has the right to be the one to open the boxes.

It is better that the sender will be the one to open the boxes. I am sure there are lots of Christmas gifts inside.

Hello @thelme55 I agree that some of them are Christmas gifts to some because of our relatives.
