I'm leaving Korea in about a month and a half, and I'm going traveling before returning home. I need to ship most of my belongings home, so I was wondering if anyone has had experience shipping very large packages overseas.

1) I don't need my items immediately after I return. Does anyone know where to look for shipping services that will go by sea (which I'm assuming is cheaper than air, but let me know if I'm wrong)?

2) Any idea on what it would cost to send two suitcases (about 20k each, standard weight for airplane luggage) and two guitars?

3) Any specific recommendations for companies to use?

Thanks!

Just send it surface mail. You can go to the post office anywhere to ship it. I've sent really heavy, huge boxes and it cost around 30,000. It takes about 2 months to get there, but it's a deal!
