What is the cheapest way to send packages from Philadelphia to Japan? -

I am teaching in Japan at the moment, and I need my family to send me some things. What is the cheapest most efficient way? The post office charges about $100 for a 10 lb package. Do you know of a cheaper way?

Sending by Priority Mail International is the cheapest way by mail you can go. If they ship a box using the USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate box it will cost $37 to mail to Japan, For this rate it must be in the USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Box. It can weigh up to 20lbs. http://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s... Global Express Guaranteed and Express Mail International are a little more expensive. Otherwise shipping by freight mail and contacting a cargo ship company, but that would most likely cost extra and take a longer time to travel.

By ship! =D It would take about a month or so. =D

Via ships is the cheapest, but it can take up to 3 months for delivery. Any via airplane packages cost about the same.

Hokkaido is Sakhan territory stop Japanese occupation !!!
