About Us
Atlas Shippers International, Inc. was established in 1993. It was founded on the understanding and experience of being an overseas Filipino; and knowing too well the feeling of homesickness that comes with being thousands of miles from your loved ones. And what better way to show you are thinking about them than by sending them a package of carefully selected items, bundled in a balikbayan box.
For over 25 years, Atlas Shippers International (ASI) has been a trusted freight forwarding, cargo service company that provides door-to-door delivery of balikbayan boxes from the US to the Philippines. ASI has multiple branches in Southern California and can also be found inside Seafood City Supermarkets. ASI’s accredited independent agents are located in Northern California and all throughout the United States. The extent of our growth and coverage is built upon the years of our clients’ trust in our service.
In all likelihood, you will find that an on-site estimate based on a physical survey
of the items that you plan on moving will be more accurate than an estimate that you
provide to your mover over the telephone or the Internet. So, unless circumstances warrant
(normally due to the time constraints of a short-notice move or because you are only shipping
a few items) think carefully before you elect to waive the required physical survey
of your shipment.
If you are receiving a non-binding estimate, the charges that your mover assesses on your
shipment must be based on the actual weight of the shipment. Your mover may not lawfully
assess transportation charges on shipments with non-binding estimates on cubic feet, volume,
time (hourly) or on any basis other than weight. Also, the federal regulations require that
shipment weights must be determined on a state certified scale with a copy of the weigh
master’s tickets provided to you in support of the final invoice.
