Can anyone recommend the quickest, easiest, cheapest way to send things home (Canada) from Korea?

Fedex looks like it might be a bit pricey - has anyone had a good experience sending things home via the post office?

Please let me know!

Thanks a lot

FEDEX is very expensive.

I've sent things from the Post Office in Korea many times and have never had any problem. They even do express and registered options like anywhere else. It'll be fine.

Once you've done it, please post again to let us know how it went. I will "eventually" have a lot of stuff to send back home in Canada and I wonder what will be best.

I sent home a 29.5 kg suitcase from the post office to Canada by air mail a few weeks ago. They said 30kg is the maximum weight. I had to tape two large boxes around it. It arrived within 3 days and cost me just under 200,000 won. Fedex would have charged around 450,000 won for similar service.
