I just spoke to the Postmaster about half hour ago.....it's fine to use the reg 'C' boxes that I have left....but they would be priced by std dimension/weight like usual....business/commercial class/flat rates no longer apply for them

I better check with the people here too. Sometimes these local stations interpret thing differently.  huh

So far it looks good. Would like to see it official somewhere so I can carry it with me when I go to the PO.  huh

That would all depend on the weight.

Dimensions of the box are more important than it's weight when it comes so shipping.  At least that has been my experience.
Always move forward. Never look back.

For the USPS there is a calculation in the system that takes into account weight, size and distance. This calculation is varies depending on the class of mail. I don't know wjat the other carriers do.

Don't know the price. You have to plug the weights into the calculator.
