I was wondering if you have any recommendations on a service that I could use to ship my box back to the US. I want a reasonably prices, and safe method. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks, Sonia

Try CHINA POST. Reasonable prices and until now everything has arrived in time and good shape.

They have 3 different ways:
AIR - quickest, but most expensive
Surface - the slowest but cheapest way
SAL - a kind of mixture, the same for the price

I cant tell you details for the US, but for Europe surface takes 4 to 6 weeks.
A package from Lhasa was once quicker than from Chongqing - so it can differ. But from Beijing it is really quick.
They wrap it for you, I always helped, especially with sensitive goods. Just to make sure - I think they have to take a look at it first anyway for customs reasons

I looked up my latest parcels:
a 15.6 kg parcel costed 431,80 Yuan
a 12,5 kg charged 373 Yuan
a 3 kg package took 179 Yuan, all suface
a 1,1 kg parcel was just 65 Yuan

Hope this is a help for you!
