Priority mail and the 70 cents for delivery comfirmation. I'd love to know if there is a better(cheaper)way! I used the box that Lori said to use in an earlier post. My postal lady said I used the cheapest way....
Did you happen to see the package I sent to mimom? All that stuff fit into a flat rate bubble envelope and only cost me $4.75. There are also regional A & B flat rate boxes available. I can send a box from Florida to Ct. for $7.78. This box holds a lot. The flat rate bubble envelopes and regional A & B boxes can only be gotten online at USPS. Both of these will save you money. I have 2 cheer skirts in a bubble envelope ready to mail out. The skirts are a size 12 ,reduced to size 10, without cutting any of the heavy knit fabric away. There is enough room for a cloth purse and a note. That is a lot to go into a bubble wrap envelope. I print my postage at home and save money every time.
the flat rate regional A boxes are great...i am sending my sp her package tommorrow in one and the postage will be $5.35 plus .80 for delivery confirmation....the box measures 10" X 7" X 4.75".......pleanty of room for the swaps.........and yes, you can only order them online..............
