When I moved here, I shipped all my books over using the US ultra-cheap surface mail (m-bag) rate. It didn't occur to me that CH wouldn't have a similar thing. Now, I'm not leaving for another year, but it's already on my mind wondering how I'm going to get things home. It seems a bit silly (and expensive) to hire a moving company--I have less than 1 m^3 and I don't have a company picking up the bill.

I noticed that the Italian and German posts both have surface mail (not surprising, considering they both have a coastline...)--any idea if I could just drive over to Freiburg, DE, walk into the post and ship all my stuff? I don't have a return address in DE--would that be a problem?

Any other clever ideas??
