Hi All,

I am planning to moving out of Sweden and back to my homecountry in South East Asia.
However, i could not find cheap option as i went to Posten and they said they only have shipping by airplane.
It does not make sense to me as in my country i can send by water shipping which is way cheaper (will take about 3 months) Maybe because i am speaking English to them? Anyone know what is the Swedish word for water shipping?
Any alternate shipping place?

Sincerely,

Arief C.

Sjöfrakt is the term You are looking for in Swedish wink.gif

Posten do Ocean freight, though I am not sure if it applies only to companies rather than private individuals. as it is part of their logistics services. Give them a call, I doubt your local Posten handle these kind of things.

Here is their page in English with regards Ocean Freight:
