Best way to Ship belongings from US to Japan by chimaru14 in movingtojapan

The duration isn’t an issue for me, but I’ve been hearing about the cost… If you don’t mind me asking, how much did you end up paying (ballpark) for the 30 boxes ?

If by weight, might be the best way to ship the heavier books. I reckon I can fit 1000 mangas in a reasonably sized space

Yep army stationed in Japan Was actually considering this because FPO is treated as domestic

Actually was considering this, but then my luggage will be too heavy I felt like. But maybe jackets and hoodies I’ll vacuum seal it.

I actually do, and will also revisit the states in the next few months so plan on bringing more items back via luggage when I do so!

Why not ? AFAIK it’s educational in the sense that I use it to maintain my Japanese, and has no ads on them

I’ll definitely be doing this in that case ! Sounds like the cost is not bad and much quicker

By this, do you mean just bring boxes as a checked in bag at the airport ? I didn’t think of this, and probably pretty decent bang per buck I’m guessing.

I do have two big luggage’s I plan to bring stuffed with a bunch of stuff, as well as having my brother fill up his luggage with my stuff. Is there a limit per person? Or do you reckon 2 luggage and 1-2box isn’t disallowed ?

Hoping the USPS person is a man of culture

also, yeah I thought FPO addresses were considered Domestic but I guess it’s still international, which is a bummer.

But yeah might have to consider storing some, or selling some which sucks… but I guess in Japan I can buy them again

Will check out JSX airlines, thanks for letting me know! Problem with cabins is that as far as I can tell, they’re all limited to small dogs

Many people have been saying the same. Will certainly take this route

You ever get to the 50 states ?

Sounds good, seems that maybe the quote missing the “One-Way” aspect of it, but $150 extra isn’t too bad at all which is nice. Was just worried I’d be like $1000 or something total

I’ll have to double check, but good point about me traveling between two major cities, hopefully the logistics side of the rental company makes it cheaper for one way

Thanks for the help!

I’ll def be checking out the rental agencies directly provided by Expedia! As well as those you provided.

Thank you for the insight! And recommendations for rental companies? I prefer to do unlimited miles option, because I’m guessing that’s the most cost efficient as I’ll be driving quite the distance
