Me.

We routinely check 6 large pieces of baggage to the USA using 1K allowance, as we did this month SYD to DEN:

Usually 4 large boxes and 2 suitcases. I have FedEx collect them from first airport hotel, and let UA pay for 280 pounds of overnight air shipping SYD-DEN, which otherwise runs to near my ticket cost.

And do the reverse on way home.
