Good luck. 
The box I just sent to California cost $42.  I estimated $25.  The fish had better make it alive.  I'll be pissed if I have to refund money on top of eating a bunch of shipping.

Yes, also to Luis.  I didn't fully understand how the regional Rate boxes work until I got home and looked it up.  It costs a lot more than a large flat rate box if you're shipping to far.  MS to CA is far.

You have a right to a refund.  Have fun fighting with the USPS ::)

I pay the same for Reg "C" boxes as I do for large flat rate........and yep, it just depends on your 'home' PO rates......I do postage on line too...it's easier and, in most cases, saves you a few bucks....

Look it up.  The regional boxes are not flat rate.  I used that box because it's so hot here I wanted to use a real fish box inside it and fill the gaps with more insulation.  Oh well, lessons learened the hard way are the ones best remembered.

Well, I've been doing it that way forever, it says "Reg 'C' Priority", which to me is flat rate.......nobody's questioned it yet when I check em in at the PO.....they always check to see if I have enough postage on there too....??.....oh well....they will say something sooner or later if they disagree and want me to change.....

It went priority   Express would have been $80.  I'll let you know.

His fish arrived 4 hrs ago and I have heard nothing.  I told him to contact me within 2 hrs about DOA's.  No news is good news.

Nothing there either.  Besides I told him that I truly hate Facebook and asked that we correspond via email.
