Whining about long waits for white goods, high delivery fees or a lot of stairs to navigate? Try getting a new fridge/freezer to a jungle house with no roads in the Philippines!

Details: Category: Blog; Published: 04 March 2024

If we want a new fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine etc. we pop into our local Curry’s or visit AO.com. Pick the item, select a delivery date and pay £20-£40. Getting it through the door and winding stairs is the problem of the two deliverymen. There will be a road to the location however remote and perhaps we will tip the drivers once done. They can even plug the new appliance in and dispose of the old appliance if we pay extra.

Now let’s shift 11,000 KMs to a house outside of a town which can barely be described as a village in Southeast Luzon (Philippines). If you live on the concrete road, it is fine but what happens if you are 1 KM+ inside a jungle? Firstly, you head to an appliance store in the nearby small town or city, select a new fridge/freezer, pay them £15 to deliver it from the warehouse in the city and leave it at a relations house who lives on a slim road.

So far this does not sound too bad right? Yes, however the road ends here with no professional path to the house and you need to cross two rivers!
