What is the easiest and cheapest way to transport skis and skiing equipment (helmet, glasses, winter jacket) from Slovakia to Turin, Italy?
I have heard that there is some bus company that provides luggage transfers from one country to another, is there?
Or I was thinking about others, like post service or delivery companies. I am already in Turin. There is another possibility to get my skis my boyfriend is travelling to visit me with Wizz Air and he can take skis and stuff with him, but I find this more expensive it seems to be more than €66.

For this they charge a fixed sporting equipment fee. The details of the fee can be found on the fee page of the Wizzair fee website. At the time of writing the fees are:
