Hi VJ...

My wife is moving here to the US in February. We are wondering what the best (cheapest) way to ship her things would be? She is bringing 2 suitcases but wants to ship a few boxes also. Thanks!!

You can try LBC, 2GO, FedEx or DHL. They have rate calculators in their websites.

Im also wondering bout this one. Will there be additional tax to pay once the box arrives in the US?

I tried to send a birthday card with a personalized dogtag included in the envelop to my husband in Hawaii and DHL told me that the receiver will be paying $100something when he gets the items. So i didnt send them and just gave them to my husband 5months after lol.

Hi there, I was thinking of the same thing but shipping to the US is a bit expensive, not to mention you go through hoops. I contacted Delta directly about the charge and they said $200 for each extra luggage (50lbs).
