Re: Care Package to Afgan~
Just want to make sure you're aware...
If you pay for the postage on USPS's web site (and print your own labels), they'll give you about a 5% discount, plus free Delivery Confirmation on Priority Mail. Also no waiting in line at the Post Office. I can't tell for sure, since the Priority rates just went up, but I think the online rates are still discounted over what you'd pay at the counter even for the special APO/FPO Priority boxes. Link: Click-N-Ship (you'll need to create an account the first time). You can also see the discount rates before registering/logging in by using their Rate Calculator. I use half-page sticky labels for my stuff, but you can print on regular paper and glue it to the box. Either way, it's a good idea to put a strip of packing tape over the "to" address (but don't cover any of the bar codes). Also noticed this note when I checked the rates just now... Quote:

Re: Care Package to Afgan~

Re: Care Package to Afgan~
Flat-rate boxes are good for as much weight that you can stuff into them (up to some huge amount you'll never reach, like 70 lbs). No problems there. Just get a close weight using a bathroom scale, or comparing to groceries

Re: Care Package to Afgan~
K folks I know it has taken me a while to send these off but I sent the first package off today as I needed some help with custom forums. The lady was very nice and I plan to send the rest of the packages off tomorrow.
