I send so much out for my non-profit I had to start asking questions because of the costs of things. Hope this helps and you will reconsider staying in.
That's what I use, but postage has gone up yet again. Second time in a year for Priority.
And if the address you are sending to is in your region, Priority Regional Rate is the best to use. I can send in Texas for as little as $6.50, and that is a box about the size of a Medium Priority Flat Rate box.
