Sending boxes abroad

Can anyone advise me how is the cheapest way to send boxes internationally?


I am moving back to Brazil and dont have many things nor furniture to get a container but its too many things to take with me by plane...


I check swiss post but its very expensive. I am not in a rush to receive this boxes, it can take a month to arrive or more.


Thank you!

Swiss Post Economy is about the cheapest you will find for personal items. For Brazil, max carton size of 100x60x60cm. Max weight 30kg per carton. And will arrive in 16-25 days.


I.E. for a 20 kg carton (think about a full suitcase of stuff) it costs only CHF 185 (9.25/kg). If you are hoping for less, you are probably being optimistic.


The idea is to pack the most stuff into a maximum carton size. There is special reinforced tape you can get at Jumbo that I would recommend.


A few other prices: 10kg 113, 15kg 154, 25kg 216, 30kg 252
