new priority mail "small flat rate box"
"Chuck D'Ambra" wrote in message ... As many of you already know, the U.S. Postal Service has just raised rates again for priority mail. While checking on shipping costs for a customer's order, I just noticed that there is now a "small flat rate box" which can be sent from/to anywhere with a U.S. zip code for $4.95. The dimensions are the same as the old small video priority mail box, i.e. approximately 8.5 x 5.5 x 1.5 inches. The small flat rate box will be great for those of us who ship small but heavier items like coins. They can be ordered at the USPS web site and may be available at your local post office. Wow, that is good news! |

Wow, that is good news! It sure is. Here's the link from the USPS website: http://tinyurl.com/8aktc9 Jerry A couple quick followups... First, to make this somewhat relevant to non-U.S. readers of r.c.c (at least those who make purchases from U.S. sellers), the small flat rate box may be used for international mail weighing up to 4 lb. The cost is $12.95, which is often considerably less than the alternatives. For example, the next least expensive mailing option for a 3 lb. package from the U.S. to the U.K. is $23.50 for First Class Mail International service. However, it appears that the USPS does not offer insurance for international mail shipped in a small flat rate box. The other thing is that I picked up a few small flat rate boxes at the local postal office yesterday. The cardboard is thinner and flimsier than other priority mail boxes the USPS provides. You'll need to use judgment about just how much you want to put in one these boxes and probably plenty of packaging tape to reinforce it. -- Chuck D'Ambra, Telesphere Numismatics web site address: www.telecoins.com remove the upper case letters if replying by e-mail |

new priority mail "small flat rate box"
We use the flat rate as our primary shipping option. 5000 25mm
(quarter sized) tokens weigh ~63 pounds. UPS & Fed Ex are $35 - $50 depending on where it is going. Flat rate with signature delivery confirmation is about $11 and the boxes are free. We pass the savings to the clients and we have won some orders because our shipping is so much less. We have to wrap the box woth 300 lb tensil strength tape about 10 times but we have not lost a shipment yet. Sean Moffatt President Moffatt & Co. - Extreme Custom Minting |
