I have shipped tons of packages lots of times and why did I forget about the flat rate packages! Duh... I found a box at the dollar store while I was buying some SOS pads and thought "perfect to send to my secret santee" I filled that baby up and was shocked outta this world when they told me $40! I knew there was a cheaper way, nobody spends that kind of money on postage!
Well I repackaged it, into a smaller box and was giving my mailman some really good WHINE about the high cost of postage! He asked why didn't I use the flat rate box! DOH... (How could I have forgotten this!) I repackaged everything Again, except baked goods into the flat rate container! And it is not going internationally! It is in the USA...
So please don't forget flat rate is really the way to go! I was amazed at the difference! I now have a $1.00 box that I am going to fill with scraps and keep in my sewing room to remind myself to never forget flat rate~
