If you order online and print your own shipping the cost is $4.75, if you go into the post office it is $4.95. If you use masking tape or office (scotch, magic, crystal, etc.) tape they will reject your package outright. If it were to contain a 3 3/8 x 9 1/8 x 6 1/8 block of lead, that would be 77lbs 4oz. 13-1/16 x 111/16 x 2-1/2 n Priority Mail Regional Rate Box B1 12-1/4 x 10-1/2 x 5-1/2 n Priority Mail Regional Rate Box B2 15 x 12 x 3 Priority Mail Regional Rate Boxes A1 and A2 have a maximum weight requirement of 15 pounds for domestic shipping and 10 pounds for international shipping. Remember, if they think you have altered the envelope, they may refuse to accept it for the special flat rate. I strongly suggest using clear shipping tape (yes there is also brown shipping tape) so that your package still looks like a Flat Rate shipping envelope. Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelopes and the Small Flat Rate Box are incredible deals, but otherwise its always cheaper to ditch the free packaging and use your own packaging instead of paying a premium. Put your bound payload into the box and seal with the provided strip making sure to avoid wrinkles. I then stuff the bag into the jig and apply the shipping tape in such a way that the shape is maintained by the pressure from the tape and not the vacuum of the squeezed out air. It keeps the contents safer (especially the Tyvek) and dry. When shipping clothing, I prefer to stuff everything into a Tyvek or zipper seal bag. You can use the jig to estimate and shape your payload.
