Luggage to Japan

Question

I'm planning to send a small package to my family in Japan
I'm concerned about shipping costs due to various recent price increases
I'm planning to send it in a small box, but I imagine it's about the size of a boot box
I'm thinking of the post office, UPS, or Yamato
. Which do you guys use for lower shipping costs
any ideas or advice
please let me know!

Let me ask a question on a flight.
Every year I send Hawaiian calendars (about $2.00 at Long's, Donki, etc.) with Christmas cards to friends and acquaintances in Japan, but the shipping costs are getting higher every year. Last year, I went to Japan from the end of the year, so I was able to hand-deliver the calendars without sending them from Hawaii, but I wonder how much it will cost to send them this year. If it is only a calendar, is it the cheapest way to send it from the post office?

I live in Hawaii.

I have looked into this, but the shipping cost was the same as what I was sending, so

I asked a friend who was visiting Hawaii from Japan to ship domestically.

I did not receive Uber or gas money during my stay in Hawaii, so Exchange took care of it for me.

I use a USPS flat rate box. The price varies depending on the size, large, medium, or small
There is a weight limit, but it is convenient as long as it fits in the box.
The boxes are available at the USPS. Once you go to the USPS website, you can see the
price of the flat rate box international.

I think Kuroneko Yamato was affordable. （ There are some rules such as only one type in the same box, but it was a lot cheaper than the post office for the same weight ）.

I am the one who asked a flight question about the shipping cost of the calendar in #2. I just shipped from the post office counter. One $ was 9.16. The last year I shipped, it was a little over $5.00, so the price had almost doubled, but I thought the price would have gone up more, so I was a little relieved that it was within $10.00 for one. I also noticed while waiting my turn in front of the post office door that there is a scale outside the door and you can follow the directions on the panel to weigh your postage. I will use this next time.
