Regardless of how long it takes for the items to travel across the Pacific, what is the cheapest way to ship stuff to Korea?

I'd like to ship personal items, such as clothes, to friends in Korea to pick up after I arrive in country. Is USPS (and their insane rates) my only hope?

Thanks.

There's always USPS flat rate boxes. Other than that, let us know what you find out in your own research.

You can ship by SEA. It takes approx 6-8 weeks for a box of heavy clothes to arrive from Seoul to the pacific coast of USA. For what would have normally costed around $100
It costed me $20
Epost.co.kr has those good rates

Thanks for your input. I used this method when I was in Korea previously.

I'm inquiring if anyone knows a similar method to ship from the USA to Korea.
