Cheapest way to ship books overseas?

[rahul]

I have around 50 hard-bound books I'd like to send back home to India. They weigh about 100-150 lbs in all. What's the cheapest way to ship them? FedEx or similar? As cargo?

Thanks.

sell them here and then use that money to re-purchase them over there?

Many are old editions I'd have a hard time locating in India. Some are quite rare.

Scanning several thousand pages is not my cup of tea

I sent a huge amount of books to Saudi Arabia one time on an M-Bag Shipment. Very slow to get there but the rate was reasonable. Call the post office and ask them about that.

Bulk books?
