Michael Mahon mentioned using the USPS flat rate boxes to simplify
****pping, so I looked into it as to me ****pping is a major pain. I
thought I'd summarize the info on this page:
http://www.usps.com/****pping/flatrate.htm
****p your packages in 2-3 days on average for domestic destinations
and 6-10 days on average for international destinations with Priority
Mail(R) Flat Rate Envelopes and Boxes. Boxes available free, print the
barcode ****pping labels and pay the postage via credit card online,
see this webpage:
https://sss-web.usps.com/cns/landing.do
Flat Rate Boxes are available in 3 sizes and shapes to accommodate a
variety of contents and ****pping needs.
1. The shoe box size (11" x 8.5" x 5.5")
2. and the ****rt box size (13.625" x 11.875" x 3.375")
-- Available to anywhere in the U.S. for $8.95
-- One rate to Canada and Mexico for $23.00
-- One rate to all other countries for $37.00
*20 pound maximum for international ****pments
3. The Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box, (12" x 12" x 5.5") is 50%
larger than the original Flat Rate Boxes.
-- Domestic $12.95
-- APO/FPO $10.95
-- Canada/Mexico $29.95
-- Other countries $49.95
Thanks to Michael for mentioning this.
