Hi Folks

I'm hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction on this question. I'll be in Tokyo next March for a holiday, however I'll be going to other places before heading home. I'm interested in getting some things shipped home rather than carry them around to two other countries. So far the only info I have found is this;

"Shipping It Home -- Many first-class hotels in Tokyo provide a packing and shipping service. In addition, most large department stores, as well as tourist shops such as the Oriental Bazaar and antiques shops, will ship your purchases overseas.

If you wish to ship packages yourself, the easiest method is to go to a post office and purchase an easy-to-assemble cardboard box, available in three sizes (along with the necessary tape and string). Keep in mind that packages mailed abroad cannot weigh more than 20 kilograms (about 44 lb.), and that only the larger international post offices accept packages to be mailed overseas. Remember, too, that mailing packages from Japan is expensive. Ask your hotel concierge for the closest international post office."

Would anybody be able to point me in the right direction for more detail info. Does anybody have any experience with this? Does anybody know what type of money we are talking?

Thanks.
