4 graded cards weigh a little over 9 ounces. Add the box and the packing material and the total weight is over a pound, so he has to pay the 2 pound rate, which can range anywhere from $5.95 to $13.50, depending on which zone the customer lives in. Chances are that Al is losing money if he is only charging 8 or 9 bucks for this package.
He could use a small flat rate box, but I don't feel that the small boxes are enough protection if you try to jam 4 graded slabs into the box.
Sorry, I read Tony's post incorrectly. Those were 4 raw cards. Even with 4 raw cards, using a solid box and some good cushioning, 8 or 9 bucks is still a good deal. Many eBay dealers are charging $5 for 1 card in a bubble envelope.
