I will be moving from St. Thomas back to the states at the end of the month and was wondering what the best way to ship some things that i have aquired over the years. Basically trying to figure out if it will be cheaper to check all my bags with an airline or ship some things back. I dont have anything big, but have about 3 bags of clothes, golf clubs, spear guns, dive equipment etc.

Any feedback would be great!

Parcel post USPS is the least expensive but the boxes may take a while to reach. But if you don't need the things immediately it's the best bet. You can check the size and weight limitations on the USPS website.

Can I ask why you are leaving? What brought you? Besides the beaches...

If you upgrade your flight to first class you can check 3 bags for free and still have a carry on. I was able to upgrade while coming here for $48. will eat any shipping price that I found. Also if you have long lay overs you might want to get a day pass to the admirals club. It's well worth the $50.
