This is FYI before you ship that next small package.
I just bought 400 pieces of Lapua brass. The package weighed 8 pounds. The cost of shipping UPS was $11.26. Guess who paid the $11.26?
That same package, even if it would have weighed six times as much would have cost $7.70 U.S.P.S. Priority mail, and would have been delivered in three days anywhere in the continental U.S.
How? Well the post office has two sizes of flat rate priority mail boxes that they will give to you. You can ship up to fifty pounds,if it will fit in the box) for a flat rate of $7.70 anywhere in the USA.
Don't take your box to them to get the flat rate charge, it has to be their box, which is free. A side benefit is the three day delivery, UPS would have charged a bunch extra for that!
