How to get stuff from Sweden to the US?
How to get stuff from Sweden to the US?
Hey, I'm an exchange student in Sweden right now, and I just realized how hard it's going to be to get all the stuff I've bought here back to the US. What would be the best alternative to getting it all back? Should I get a second suitcase, and just pay for that on the plane or try shipping it (Although I think that might be really expensive)? Any advice or tips would be great!

First check your airline's baggage policy so you know exactly what you can take and how much extra suitcases will cost. Then compare with shipping your stuff home via the Post Office. Be sure to ask if there are discounts for things like books, and how much it will cost to ship the packages by surface mail. Surface mail may take a month or two but should be much less expensive than airmail. Sending it home via shipping services like DHL/FedEx/UPS will be very expensive.
