It is a mixed package I also put in a vest for wearing in cooler weather.
You can't (technically or "legally") use USPS MEDA MAIL if there is clothing in the box. Fedex will def leave at your door as long as it isn't shipped "Signature Required" or with declared insurance over IIRC $500. USPS does NOT use Fedex to deliver, it's the other way around, Fedex (and UPS and DHL) have a service that drops at FEDEX center then transfers to local PO for "last mile" delivery. Sometimes it's actually more expensive. I ran a THE UPS STORE for 5 years so I am pretty familiar with most of the options as we worked with all the shippers.
