Can someone recommend a way to send home large boxes and oversized items cheaply? I don't need to get it there quickly but cheaply would be nice. I have some books, a guitar, some clothes etc.

I found a thread earlier this year and now can't seem to find it.

Thanks

I always use the post office. It's good, dependable and efficient on both ends. Just break your boxes down into the regulation size boxes (to be bought cheaply at the local branch). Don't know about the guitar.

Do they offer a collection service like Parcelforce does in the UK? I have to ship some stuff too but am unable to get to the post office due to an injury.

DHL does collection.

For shipping my computer home, what is getting insurance like?

Do you think it would be smarter to send that with a company like UPS or DHL or FedEX rather than the korean postal service?

Ohh. found a link for postal services. You can calculate costs based on weight! You can also check out the restrictions. Hope it helps! http://www.koreapost.go.kr/eng/postal/interfeecheck_eng.jsp
