Best way to ship clothing and a few books

8 years ago
I'm thinking of shipping some of my clothes and a few of my favorite books to Trieste, rather than take multiple suitcases. Wondering what the most efficient and least expensive options are. Not sure of the weight, as yet, but I've checked the US Postal office - It's about $150 for 40 lbs. This seems like a good option, but curious to hear others' experience.

If I ship, is there a customs fee when it arrives in Italy?
