shipping clothes back home from europe?
I’m a Canadian on vacation in Europe right now. In Munich now and will be taking the train to Paris. I’ve realised that I probably packed too much clothes in my luggage. it’s too heavy and doesn’t leave much space for the clothes and things that i will be buying here. is it possible for me to take a bunch of my clothes and ship it back home in a backpack or something?? because i really won’t need the extra clothes and it is just too much space being pointlessly used. what would be the cheapest way for me to ship some of it back home so that i don’t have as much stuff to carry around??

Mail them via PARCEL POST. I did that some years ago and it takes about 6 weeks, but everything arrived OK. You have to fill out the customs form, but it doesn’t hurt to mark plainly on the outside of the box “USED PERSONAL CLOTHING” that keeps you from having to pay duty on it.

looardislander gave you the good answer.
I had that same situation on my first European trip. Good for you for figuring out what to do!
And definitely, definitely, put the “used personal clothing” on the customs tag that goes on the outside of the package. I made the mistake of putting what was actually inside (thinking it was absolutely necessary for customs); it was a leather jacket, and I never saw it again.
