What is the cheapest way to ship from thailand to canada? I got a textbook purchased & shipped on ebay for $45 USD by fedex from bangkok, but inputing something identical in weight and size gives me a rate quote of 2500 THB, which is about $70 USD O_o. I want a friend of mine to ship a few things from thailand, and it wont be ridiculous amount of stuff that I would start looking at marine containers. I don't really care about the time it takes, just that it gets here eventually.

EMS works well and is trackable, cheaper than the major couriers

Do it from your local post agent.
