How to send home the collected material

Good afternoon. I need some advice.
I plan to travel to South Asia by bicycle, to several countries, for several months. Roughly, China-Burma-Thai-MALAYS_INDONESIA. It will be necessary to send mattresses home to Ukraine, so that they do not spoil in the field and do not worry about them at the borders.
I read about the mail of Thailand - you can send a box of up to 2 kg for 30u. e., which suits me. But how do they deal with this box?.. There is an option that a rotten mess will arrive. I didn't find any information about private carriers. Fedex, DHL is expensive. it seems that there is a good UPS service from private owners, but I also didn't find any prices. This is the first question - how to forward it?

Another factor is how to mask the material? So that it is not opened at customs, delivered in one piece and in general it is desirable not to pay any attention to it, although it is necessary to pack it efficiently, in a strong box.
I hope for your help.

I would first make Facebook friends in these countries along the route, I think that with their help it will be easier to send a parcel.
By the way, what are you going to catch?

Someone in Ukraine received insects by mail (Bought, changed, gave)?
In principle, insects do not appear on the list of prohibited items for export (P. K. M. in Thailand). And they are unlikely to be banned for import into Ukraine. But for some reason, everything is encrypted and steamed, not with a simple one ? %)

It's not just beetles that will be sent. a combined hodgepodge of souvenirs and teas

If not, TNT is slightly cheaper than DHL and FedEx.
