yes the padded FR envelopes are easier to stuff than the cardboard mailers. Now they are making them in poly instead of paper they are even better. They are still not as big as the Tyvek ones though. I just stuffed one of those with 4 small to medium quilt tops. Printing the postage online it was cheaper than Parcel Post.
If you print postage online from the USPS website, you get a small discount in postage on any Priority Mail.
As if the PO was not confusing enough, there are THREE possible rates for any PM package
Highest - over the counter
Next lower - online postage through website or Paypal
Lowest of all - Ebay shipping, if you are Top Rated Seller. Only good for ebay transaction though.
