Normally, my packages run almost 14.00 to mail..that is using the medium size flat rate box (priority mail flat rate box)..this time it was 4.00 cheaper..I am wondering if just regular mailing (bubble wrapped) envelopes are cheaper to use?
No, they are not. I had one with me and we tried both ways-box was cheaper.
Kudos to the gal at my post office... she saved me $5! I walked in with a Squishee (and a beautiful squishee she was, too, all blue and stripey) but the gal said she thought we could get it in a flat-fate envelope, and we did. So, with delivery confirmation, $5.65. Granted, there was nothing big in it, and I came home with the lovely squishee and packing material, but wonderful things come in small packages.
I'd rather send fabulous small goodies than spend $$ on shipping, so next month I'm picking up a flat-fate box and stuffing it.
