Delivering Love Since 1997
For almost 30 years, Filipino-Australian families have trusted Forex Cargo to deliver their balikbayan boxes home to the Philippines.
We are an Australian family-owned and operated business with our own family's roots firmly planted in the Philippines. We know what it means to build a life in Australia while remaining connected to the people, places and memories we call home.
That's why, to us, a balikbayan box has never been just another shipment. Behind every box is someone working, saving, shopping and carefully packing something for the people they love.
Every family has a story. Every box carries love. We simply deliver it.

Every Box Has a Story
This is ours, and how it becomes yours.
Our Story
Long before the first warehouse or national network, there was a family finding its feet in a new country, carrying an entrepreneurial spirit from the Philippines and a promise to look after people.
- 1988
A family migrates to Australia
Carrying an entrepreneurial spirit passed down through generations in the Philippines, our family arrived in Australia to build a new life, and eventually, a new business.
- 1997
Forex Cargo is founded
Started from the ground up with a van, a warehouse, and a promise to look after every customer's box the way we'd want our own family's parcels treated.
- 2009
A Philippines customer service team begins
As Forex Cargo grew, we opened a Philippines-based customer service team, making sure help stayed close by, on either end of the journey, not just in Australia.
- 2016
Forex World becomes its own identity
Cargo and money had grown into two distinct services, so we gave each its own name, Forex Cargo and Forex World, while remaining part of the same family.
- Today
An Australia-wide network
Forex Cargo now reaches every major Australian city through a network built on trust and referrals, and remains exactly what we started as: family owned and operated.
About Forex Cargo
Forex Cargo is an Australian, family-owned and operated business helping Filipino-Australian families send balikbayan boxes home to the Philippines. What began in 1997 as a hands-on family operation has grown into an Australia-wide network, without losing the personal service that shaped the business from the beginning.
We're also part of something bigger. Forex Cargo and Forex World are sister brands sharing the same family heritage: Forex Cargo carries the boxes, Forex World carries the money, but the promise behind both is exactly the same.

Why Forex Cargo
For almost three decades, we've built Forex Cargo around service, reliability and trust, not simply the lowest price. Experience, reliability, accountability and real people behind the company are what that trust actually buys the family sending it home.
Don't Risk It, Forex It.
Experience
Since 1997, we've specialised in exactly one corridor: Australia to the Philippines. Not ten countries, not every kind of freight, just this route, done properly, for almost three decades and counting.
Reliability
Regular weekly sailings give customers a dependable shipping rhythm and help keep boxes moving through their journey.
Accountability
We're a family-owned and operated business, which means the name on the side of the truck is personal. Our reputation isn't a marketing line, it's something we've spent almost thirty years building.
Real People
From the driver who knocks on your door to the team answering your calls, real people stand behind every Forex Cargo box, not a call centre script or a faceless operator.
