The post office said it would cost around $20 US to mail all of my documents to Korea. UPS was the most expensive, at $80, and DHL charged around $70.

Which method did you use to send documents to Korea? Is one really more reliable than the other?

I don't know where you get those figures from. I shipped mine out in Dec '06 via UPS (At Staples) for $40 express mail. It got to Korea in like 3 days even though I put in the address all weird cuz Korean addresses are confusing as hell. I'd go with UPS.

It depends on how fast you need the delivery. If a week or more is fine, go with regular registered postal service. If you need it in a hurry, and really want the job, you will just have to pay up the cash. It's a similar rate for my area, too. I was also told not to go with FedEx, because they sub-contract out the delivery once it reaches Korean shores an thus can take longer to get delivered.
