I need to do something unique at work and I don't know how.

My boss is moving to Seoul to live and work for six months. I need to figure out how to get his clothing and personal effects over there. I've been googling most of the day. All I can find is relocation services for full house moves. He wants to avoid the expense of my first suggestion, FedEx. Can't say I blame him.

Got any ideas? Am I just being unimaginative?

You can call some of the major airlines and they're pretty happy to help. I believe the price is based on weight but its been a couple of decades since I lived overseas.

The major carriers can usually recommend other avenues to try as well if you don't find any satisfaction there.

do a google: seoul+moving+shipping personal effects+forum?

Or ***HORRORS*** ask in GD if anyone has travelled there or lives there and can advise on shipping stuff?


Good luck!
