Hello, I have been travelling for 5 months (USA & Mexico) and plan to continue travelling for another 5-7 months (Mexico & Canada).
I would really like to lighten my bag by sending a box of belongings (that I would like to keep) back home to the United Kingdom.
I have searched online a lot, for affordable (under £100) options and I am finding nothing. DHL/UPS/FedEx are quoting upwards of £180 for 30cm x 30cm x 20cm box 2kg. Which is smaller than I would like and very expensive.
The Mexican postal service has a reputation for being unreliable so I don’t want to take the chance. Does anyone know if it is possible to ship a box by sea from Mexico/Canada/USA? I’m happy for it to take months to get delivered - speed is not a priority.Or any other methods to send?
I saw someone online saying that the cheapest way to ship internationally is to check the box in as luggage on a flight, unfortunately I do not plan to fly home anytime soon….
Any advice or recommendations much appreciated. I am expecting responses of “it’s not possible, unless expensive” hoping I have missed what I am looking for.
Best wishes!
