Postage from China/Japan

Figure out the best place to stay on Khao San Road in Bangkok and where to escape when you've had enough of the mayhem. From Singapore Slings to the changes in Bejing after the 2008 Olympics, gab about it all here.

Postage from China/Japan

Postby SkiCO » April 29th, 2008

I'm in Vietnam right now where postage by sea to America is pretty cheap ($14 for the 1st kilo and then $1/additional kilo). I'll be buying a decent amount of stuff in Japan and China in the next couple months and would like to send it all home at once but I have no idea how much more expensive it will be... Does anyone know the going rate per kilo to ship stuff by sea from Japan or China?

Thanks a bunch!

You can still check out the tag index though.

What are tags?

A 20-kg parcel costs about 10,000 yen and takes 2-3 months.

Thanks a lot, that is really helpful. Seems pretty pricey, I wonder in China is cheaper?
