If you ship anything to family or friends in the service be sure to look into the post office flat rate boxes (if it fits it ships).
I had two boxes this morning to mail to our Granddaughter in Afghanistan. One large flat rate box and a second one that was exactly the same size in every dimension. The flat rate box $13.45 (usually $15.45 but you get a $2 discount when mailing to the troops). The plain brown box $33.00. Needless to say it took me about 6 minutes to get another flat rate box and repack out of the plain box and had both ship for less than the non flat rate box.
