The reverse of it worked very well when I went to New Zealand.  I
started in the southern part of the South Island, which is like northern
Scotland, and as I moved north I mailed home my heavier clothes.  Since
New Zealand has about four or five different airmail shipping rates (air
mail is commonplace between islands) it was relatively inexpensive, and
made it much easier for me to manage luggage.
