$35 just to pack some clothes I bought at the mall. This does not include the $16 to ship. Look for a box and pack it yourself. Use UPS if the box will be large and heavy, otherwise, USPS or FEDEX Ground is way cheaper. Boxes can be found by asking the housekeeper or the maintenance guy. The store you bought the stuff will have boxes too. Take a roll of shipping tape or buy it at the PO or any drug store for $3.99.
