Is it just me or did the USPS Flat Rate Boxes get......

Better yet, I have been practicing, " Moving a Box telepathically " I only need a mailing address.

 

 

I no longer go to the post office at all

I'm about to send a Medium Flat Rate box to the East Coast, and I'm 90% sure it's cheaper that way. So these flat rates aren't for suckers.

 

Be 100% sure

It's still cheaper to send items in 1092 and 1095 priority boxes if you mind how they're packed. Flat rate is for lazy people who don't know how to weigh their packages and couldn't care less about forwarding that expense on to their buyers.

 

Not west to east.

 

I only use flat rate for east coast states.

 

Me sending a slab to NJ will cost more using the weighing scale.

 

1 Slab = 1.87 pounds

 

2 Slabs= 4 pounds

 

2 slabs = 3 pounds

I will not use flat rate boxes for slabs. Not enough room ever, not just recently. The few times I did use them I scored the flaps to extend the box another half an inch. This enabled the books and packing material to fit properly.

 

exactly.

 

and yes, 1095.

 

Flat rate is not worth damaging the book, or the cost to ship twice etc for re-holder.

If I know a seller is using a flat rate box for a slab, I would not buy from them.
