Just wondering if there's a cheap company out there which will send just a small bag of my clothes back home (i'm overweight on my luggage). I don't care if it takes a month to get back, just wanna get the best rate.
cheers |

Post office. Slow boat shipping is ridiculously cheap, takes about 6 weeks.
Alternately, if it's only a small box of stuff, you can send it air mail for about 25-35k. |

| the size 5 box is rhe biggest they will ship slow boat. make sure you vaccuum seal your clothes or they will get a nasty mildew smell that won't go away. A month overseas sitting in cardboard doesnt protect it from the humidity. |

Also check to make sure the over-weight bag fee. It usually isn't that much if it's only a small bag. It might wind up being cheaper to buy a cheap bigger suitcase and just pay the overweight fee. |

I sent one beast of a #6 box to the US today for 48,000 won weighing in at 19.75 Kilos. There isn't any restriction on parcels when using their boxes other than 20 Kilos being the max weight limit. These things must sit a month or longer in a marine environment on a slow boat if it takes 2 months to get home so humidity probably gets in. |
