Options are :

Send standard suitcases by co who offer that service. Takes about 4 weeks and declare as under $200 or gift. Could be cheaper than UPS.

Last time it cost about 200 pound to send a very heavy soutcase with clothes, books etc. delcared as personal effects

Send cooking stuff etc. by parcel post declaring value of parcels under $200.

Buy new here - in chinatown excellent saucepans etc.

New pressure cooker about 1000 pesos.

Electrics are 110 - need a transformer for 220 products.

Probably cheaper to buy again most things through Amazon etc. Rice cooker etc. Check the prices and it is about $4 a lb from Miami to SD etc. by CPS.

Get someone to store non-essentials in UK and bring back bit by bit as you visit the UK either as standard 25- 30 kilo luggage or excess bagage - check airline regulations carefully.

thats something to think about but its convincing the wife to part with her things haha..but it is good to know Amazon ship out there as i do allot of buying on ebay and Amazon is has good as any for things.I just hope the parcels dont get robbed or rummaged through..i think that would seriously P me off
I think i would rather ship that have to visit back to pick things up as flight would be a whole lot more
Whereabouts is chinatown??
