How do!

I'm going to be leaving Korea (for now) at the end of my contract, and would like to ship some of my stuff (clothes, mostly) back to the UK.

We all know how lame the airline baggage allowances for UK passengers are, so could anyone point me in the right direction for a company to ship my stuff back to Blighty?

All help and advice will be most gratefully received!

When sending stuff back to Ireland I just used the Korean postal service. I got some of their big boxes and got it shipped home. It costs about 3 times as much to get it flown home and will take about 1-2 weeks in the air.

It took mne 2 months to get home, but I sent mine two months in advance, so when I got home on a saturday night my boxes actually arrived on the monday. I didn't know when they would arrive or how long it would take but I got lucky.

BTW I think it cost me about 50,000 won per box, it was one of their large boxes too.
