> how much does it cost? Will I have to travel to the Post Office? How long will I have to be there? Do I have the packing material? Should I insure the box? Simple solution: use flat rate USPS priority boxes. Order a few of each size for free and stick them in your closet with a roll of packing tape. You know exactly what it will cost, you can get a free next-day pickup from your house, and you can use newspaper for packing material. Only works if you ship small-ish stuff, but it's brilliantly easy if you sink 10-15 minutes into the prep. |

Plus you can buy USPS priority shipping online (at a discount) when needed, and drop anything that will fit in a USPS mailbox (the 15-ounce rule is for mail bearing only stamps). Or hand it to your (or any) mail carrier out on their rounds if you prefer.
