I'm buying primary school textbooks from USA for use in Taiwan. Is there a way to send them that's cheaper than through UPS or the US Post Office? Where maybe they charge by the size of the boxes/ containers instead of by the weight of the contents? Please help...

Easy! You bring the book with you on the plane to Taiwan, and give it to them there. See?
2 :
the post office will charge by size and weight. Generally only charging by size is cheaper as books can weigh a lot. If you want really cheap and you have time, send by boat. but mind you it will take like 2 months to get to taiwan then. (plus side is its a hades of a lot cheaper then by air.)

First Class International would be appropiate for single books. It cuts out at 4 pounds. Something heavier than that would cost a lot to ship. Weight what you need to send and go to usps.com to calculate

US Flat Rate Box is the cheapest a large one will cost you over $40.00. Check for your textbook on ebooks.com I would also suggest buying used at GreenTextbooks.com - Saving the Planet One Textbook at a Time GreenTextbooks.com is your online leader for finding used textbooks, DVDs, CDs.
