| Subject: | Shipping small items to Paris |
| Date: | Wednesday, March 29, 2006 |
| Name: | G |
| Message: | My wife and I are moving to Paris this summer for one year (to start). We are renting a furnished apartment so do not need to bring too many items, but, as my wife is a PhD candidate, she has lots of books and writing materials. What is the best (least expensive) option for shipping boxes to Paris? I expect the boxes to be Uhaul size book boxes and relatively heavy as they will be mostly books. Thanks |

It may be wise to check into different rates for different items. I believe things like "books" only with nothing else has a lower rate for "printed matter" (you cannot add others things into the same box). For other things I'm not sure...
