thanks for the tips..i will check out fedEx too. i use the plastic bags that were used to ship me items from QVC. since your paying by weight..it is not that bad..and actually i think it was cheaper than the flat rate usps. i want to say i paid under 9 bucks to ship the last two.
i have a 10 pound scale from the post office, i use..so i can make the cheapest shipping..
