That is what the flat rate boxes are for ---the stuff that won't fit in the envelopes ---and having received a pkg that had all that the shipper could stuff into a flat rate envelope, I'm surprised the main post office in Seattle wasn't shut down for repairs to the machinery! Certain things are designed to go on certain machinery and adding twice+ what they are designed for is not a pretty sight!
