Shipping packages internationally what is cheaper ? |
Travel Info I am currently studying in Melbourne Australia but need to ship some large, fairly heavy (10 kilo, 22 pounds) things home to Nashville T.N. Would it be cheaper to bring a 3ed bag of luggage (I know it costs extra not sure how much) on my Quantas and American Airlines flights; or send the package through something like Fed. Ex. or UPS? Travel Tips Call QANTAS and ask how much you would be charged per kilo for excess luggage, those airline rates can kill you. Potentially hundreds of dollars. Shipping will take several weeks but it may be cheaper, avoid Fed Ex and go with Australia Post who will pass it on to the USPS for the cheapest rate. Others definitely bring the extra bag, shipping will cost over a hundred dollars and you might think about putting two boxes together into one big one and paying the over weight fee (usually only 25-50 dollars compared to an extra bag. every airline is different though, and you need to check their prices. the cheapest way to ship is using cargo liner shipping, but for 10 kilos it's just not worth it. Go for the extra bag. |
