Lower 48 to Fairbanks Gear / Camp / Food Logistics Question

[Slugz]

Airline flights with just a long gun case and a bag or two sure is nice and easy. My research has gotten me down to two options to get things up there before the hunt starts in order to minimize baggage fees.

1) Alaska Air Cargo. Seems to be the most affordable if you live in a AA hub city and pretty easy. Storage fees could be an issue if planned wrong or you get delays.
2) US Mail. Depending on weight and size of the box.

I'm looking to get camp, food, and misc items to Fairbanks a week or more before the trip and use the same method to return items to Casper Wy post hunt maybe.

Any ideas or thoughts on the subject please pass along.

Thanks
