 |
|
Does anyone know of any cheap ways to send stuff bulk, out of Japan? To the US specifically. The Japanese Postal Service, is about 7000� for 10 kilos, via boat. I was wondering if anyone knew of a cheaper way?
Looking to send some books, clothes, and some whatnot. Any help would be fantastic. |

Ah, yeah that might just be our only choice. That or just paying the extra fees, for super heavy baggage. |

| Consider having a sayonara sale like many people do. Ask yourself if you really want to pay to have that stuff back home? |

| One of my friends used econoship - I don't remember how much it was but I know they were the cheapest. Also, he shopped around and rates varied wildly. |

| I used a company called shipmates. They didn't seem very professional, but everything arrived as promised and nothing was broken. |

Ah thanks for the sites. Will shop around.
Glenski, the stuff we want to ship, would be more expensive to replace. |
