We can go USPS economy post for $64.10, and it will be delivered in 4-6 weeks. However, the postal service in some countries isn't very secure and so you might want to consider that. Some places it is absolutely fine, and in fact, I'd say that is true of most places. But I know of some that it's not, and the people that live there will tell you to expect missing items if packages are sent.

The example I know best is Eastern Europe. It's not like it's dangerous to be there - It's less dangerous in most places there than say a big city in America. But if you send a package there you might as well burn it first. Insurance is available, but filing a claim is frustrating and time consuming. On the other hand, UPS charges $247.56, which is even more frustrating. So I'd say the best thing for us to do is to ship postal freight with insurance, if the post office in Guadeloupe is reasonably reliable.
