OT: Inspired by current events (just like Law and Order), let's talk shipping.

I keep seeing everybody mention Small Flat Rate boxes.

Don't be afraid to use the Priority 1092 boxes for more expensive items. They are much larger and sturdier then the small flat rates, but are light enough, you can probably keep them under the 1lb 1ounce price bump limit on lighter items. (raw cards, or a couple graded cards). Because of the size, they are also much harder for the USPS to lose or misplace also.

Also, if you are shipping to someone in your general region, you can probably get up to 3-4 lbs. or so, without much of a price bump.

If you do ship anything heavier or bigger, look into Regional Flat Rate Boxes A, B, C...."A" is the smallest, but still waaaaay larger then a small flat rate box.

Depending on where it's going, you can end up saving several bucks over the weighed Priority package, or the regular Flat Rate Price.
