Anyone know which is cheaper? Can one ship suitcases btw? Thanks! Leaving Swiss to ny in Aug.

One thing to remember is that you can only take extra luggage on a flight if there is spare capacity....

That depends how heavy the package will be, since you'd be charged according to weight and not size (if shipping it).

The last I checked, extra baggage fees are often about $50 per bag.

Of course you can ship a suitcase, but it would have to be put in a box.

If you're only shipping clothing, shoes, etc..., then I'd go with the luggage option.

I agree, it costs more or less 50$ per luggage but it depends on the airline carrier and your destinations.

Shipping your belongings with a shipping company can be quite expensive...

post.ch has a good description. yesterday we just shipping a box of 29kg to US, and it costs 168chf.

Is the box of 29 kg that you shipped your own box or you need to buy a specific box from the post office in order to get that price? Thank you very much.
