The last time I brought my stuff back from Hawaii by myself, I was charged a huge overage fee and it ended up being too heavy and not worth it.

Most of the contents are Hawaiian clothes, bags and souvenirs.

I always carry on as much as possible. I bring a Boston bag on top of a smaller suitcase that can be carried in, and put the suitcase in the top compartment and the Boston under the seat in front of me. If I can't fit it in, I put it in a cardboard box and send it by fedex or usps, but
usps is surprisingly expensive. I don't know how much the check-in surcharge is, but it is also expensive to send heavy items.

Where would you like to send a package of about two cardboard boxes from Hawaii to?
You could pack it up and take it to a UPS office and get a quote.

Thank you very much Aloha. I will try to take full advantage of the carry-on as much as possible. With my sister, who broke her arm last time, we kept our carry-on luggage to a minimum, so that may have been a factor.
The largest box that can be sent by USPS Flat Rate is not very big, and the price seems to vary from Hawaii to Hawaii. I thought the post office was the cheapest, but I will look into FedEx and UPS ! Thank you very much !.

We recommend a service called Pirate Ship. Even if you do not have a business account, you can purchase labels at a discounted price for broker accounts that Pirate Ship has. It is not very cheap, but it is about 10% less than the regular price.
