Hello,
I'm probably a little late in getting this together but what is the cheapest way to ship a package home to the US for Christmas? Also if I want to ship a lot of collected crap home with no time requirement what is the cheapest route? I'm sure this is an often asked question so I apologize for that but thank you all the same.

I'd suggest P.O. for shipping a package home for Christmas. As far as the large suitcase or whatever it is that you want to ship back without a time constraint, shipping by boat is really cheap.

However, I don't really know any info about it besides the fact that my friend shipped a big suitcase home for like $25.

By ship is the cheapest method. Just go to a post office, and they will give you a quote. A friend of mine shipped about 20 kg to Canada for me this past summer. It cost about 30,000 W and it took about a month to arrive.

You might need airmail if you want it to reach in time for Christmas.

i also think you'll need airmail at this point, but the korean post office can get packages up to 20 kg. (within the confines of a limited variety of box shapes and sizes) over via surface mail for a reasonable price. usually takes 1-3 months.
