据说USPS 挺贵的，是吗？

It depends on the weight and size of what you want to ship. If it is big but light, use normal priority mail; if it is heavy, try the priority flat rate boxes. They have the flat rate boxes in different sizes, and you can get them from any post office for free. You can try to fit in your stuff at home, and calculate the cost on www.usps.com, to decide which is the best. Priority mail has tracking and even some insurance included in the postage, but the recipient may needs to pay tax to the Chinese customs.

If your stuff is less than 4Lb, first class mail may be much cheaper but there is no tracking, no insurance. So don't use it for expensive stuff.

谢谢楼下详细的解释！我听说纽约，加州都有华人开的速递，比较便宜，看来我们这里是没有了？

好像UPS比USPS贵。

春节前往国内寄了一个二十磅左右的箱子。UPS称下来要400刀，那位办事员很不錯，建议去USPS。结果在邮局只花了100刀出头。当然要多花点时间在路上。再就是可能有关税的麻烦。不过后来问了，家人并未被要求交关税。可见这关税也不是非交不可的。
