While our oldest son was deployed last year, we found the "one rate" boxes from the post office worked best for us. With these boxes it doesn't matter how much it weighed, it was still the same price. If you know what you're sending is heavy, then you might want to consider this. The post office have certain boxes that are used for this. If you don't see them, be sure to ask for them.(We even sent a horseshoe set to him-boy, did we get our money's worth on that box!!) :wink:
Thanks to everyone who keeps our servicemen/women and their families in your thoughts and prayers.
