Hey i was hoping someone could give me some info on the best way to get a pc home from korea to canada. Its not a laptop but its a very small desktop, with a flat screen monitor. I bought it here and would really like to get it home. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Do you use the same power wattage in Canada as in Korea? I think that it just wouldn't be cost effective to send back a pc and monitor.

Check the back; if it's a decent computer there will be dual voltage on the power adapter. If not, if you are handy, you can install a new power supply in Canada and take the old one out to save weight.

If packed well, I don't see why you can't mail it back. I would take out the hard drive and take it in your carry-on if possible, as they are easily damaged by the cro-magnons at Canada Post.

For a kinda spendy option you can go to the mailboxes etc. at the COEX and have it FedExed. They'll wrap the thing for shipping gratis and insure it. It'll be there in 3 days, but you're looking at 150-200 bucks.
