In the past, my family would send me a few big boxes of stuff from the USA to Korea via US postal surface delivery, but the US Post Office stopped offering surface. Now there is only air delivery, which is much more expensive than the cost of what the surface had been.

Do you have any recommendations?

Is there a company that ships boxes from the USA to Korea via surface at a cheap price?

Thanks

USA! USA! USA!


I hate the fact they got rid of surface. It's not like they don't have the means to do it. Greedy ass government, I'm glad I don't pay them taxes anymore.

Canada Post Very Happy...
Sent a small package (less than 250g) to someone today, cost my 8 bucks plus a box, lol... A good option if you live near the border, or know someone in Canada who can ship it for you.

I'd recommend you seek out a Korean cargo company in the US. These companies ship to Korea, air or sea, all the time. Hopefully, you shipping from an area that has a big Korean population.

Priority Mail Flat Rate. (Although it's not really a flat rate when shipping international, it's the best thing left.)
