In the past the Korea Times (or maybe the Herald) advertised shippers for things like that. I think they sell space by the cubic meter.

hi there, do you have any korean friends? There is a website somewhere,.....korean people who are moving abroad kind of put their stuff together (i think you pay by the cubic foot)..my husband found one of these sites with stuff heading to canada, i'm sure there must be something heading to australia. If you have any friends who are korean or can read and write korean have them take a look for you....when my husband gets home I'll ask him where he found it and if there is anything heading to australia. Maybe if someone else sees this they might know what i'm talking about....if not I'll post as soon as I find out..Very Happy

dhl and fedex and others like them are professional couriers that specialise in getting stuff anywhere fast. they don't cater well for people wanting big stuff anywhere slow.

You're best bet is to look in an English language newspaper or Seoul Classified or similar magazine and find the ads. There are always shipping agents advertising in there.

A quick search of Google just gave me
http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/Countries/Korea__South/Business_and_Economy/Business_to_Business/Shipping/Movers/

and the top link there seems to fit your bill

Sure you'll find something... Wink

Why aren't YOU PMing? This kind of thing doesn't need to be said publicly. Some people might not be as au fait with netiquette as you seem to be. And you might want to clean your ? key - seems to get stuck down when you type Laughing

Oh My God! So sorry...is this better? Bloody hell this site is just full of people who just can't help themselves being bitchy or sarcastic! Actually I didn't realize it was rude or 'shouting' to write in caps. All I wanted was help moving my things! I can't even belive you could be bothered to write that! (Or that I'm replying, but you've pissed me off!) I have better things to do with my time than polish up my 'netiquette' skills, thank God for that.
To the other people who replied to my ignorant letter & answered regardless thankyou!
To ajuma.......I hope you are having a better day today!
