I had a buddy ship his Canada equipment this past fall to me. We figured that would be much cheaper than checking. BOY, we were wrong. checking would have been 25 a bag......shipping cost 76.00 total, so he spent 26 extra by shipping.

On the return trip, we did a hybrid. He checked a bag of heavier stuff, and I shipped a box with light stuff, including his life jacket and a couple other items, Total both 48 bucks. NOT BAD.
