I was wondering if anyone has experience of shipping smallish boxes of clothes to the US and the most economical way to do it. I'm considering using Australia post surface mail but even that is around $150 for a 15kg box. Are there any cheaper alternatives?

If it's just one box you could look into taking it as excess baggage. Sometimes this is the cheapest alternative.
