Any suggestions?

There are (at least) 2 different medium size priority flat rate boxes. One is more square and the other is longer (but thinner). The longer one will fit (3) 660 count boxes (side by side) just fine. They even have a longer one that can hand 800 count boxes, but that's a large size flat rate. You can actually order these from the PO and they will drop them off at your house if your local PO doesn't have/carry them.

If you are looking to just "dump" some sets cheap in order to reduce inventory or make room, I would recommend pulling the $ cards from the sets, listing those cards, and donating the rest to charity (specifically for anything post 1980). For all but a few sets, it really does cost more to ship than the sets are worth, which minimizes buyer interest.
Another option is to sell 2 or more sets as a lot, that way it will save on the seller's shipping cost by spreading it out across a couple sets. (I've tried both methods with varying success, FWIW). It's another way to move an '88 Donruss set with an '84 Donruss set (for example) and maybe get some buyer good will.
