I just shipped 11 quilts the first of March. My DH used our Food Saver machine to shrink wrap them and I got all 11 of them in a box I had that the cannery uses to ship pears in. It's about the size of the biggest flat rate box...when pears are in it it holds 92 pears approx. or approx. 42 to 43 pounds. I got all 11 quilts in the box and it cost me $22.59 to mail them from the West Coast to Pennsylvania via US Postal Service and that was sending regular mail. It took a week plus a few days to get to Penn. If I had mailed the box Priority, it would have cost $44.59 or something like that. I thought the $22 was resonable for 11 quilts.
