Shipping books overseas from Thailand

[loofa]

Hey all,

I've been doing lots of googling, trying to find information about shipping books from Thailand to the U.S., but not finding much. I'm interested in Thai postal system, if they have a "book rate" - I'm thinking not, but want to be sure. Also if anyone has advice on a better way such as partial shipping containers etc. I'm up north, and thinking I would have to ship from Chiang Mai if doing the container thing yes? Apologies, I know very little about this despite lots of time trying to educate myself online. I'm probably looking at about 5 or 6 medium to largish boxes.

Thanks so much for any guidance.

I shipped a large quantity of books from Thailand to the US about 7 years ago by way of a 20' container. This time, I will only be sending a couple of pallets of them. Once I learn the fastest and most reasonably priced and reliable way to send them (along with some other household effects) by pallet or wooden container--LCL either way, I will let you know what I find.
