What's a cheap way to ship congas (a set of three and bongos)?
Our school got an order of congas and bongo set but it turned out to be the wrong one and we want to send it back to the manufacturers. We already threw the box away...
Here's what the look like. They're pretty big so I assume the shipping's going to cost quite a bit.

Ship them UPS Ground as it is the safest and cheapest way. Make sure you pack them well as these Congas are expensive and the best on the market. You want to make sure they receive them without a scratch although, an insurance is suggested.
The shipping goes by volume, the amount of room they take up.
