Conder, I would assume individual rolls when to different addresses.

OK, that would make sense.

 

That's what happened. There's a limit to the weight for first class mail and then it defaults to priority.

Can I say flat rate boxes? They are $5.00 for up to 70 lbs!

What are those, Bruce? Do you use your own box, is it secure and how long to deliver? Thx.

They provide the box!

 

If you are shipping something that is not the end all be all, such as a new roll of quarters, then those are perfect. Basically the post office says if you can fit it into Box X (They have 3 sizes) and it is not over X pounds ( 70 I think) then it will be like $5, $10, or $15 depending on which box you used. It takes a few days to move just like any other mail. I got one from Ct to Tx and it took about 3 days. the box was large enough to hold 2 large capitol plastic holders. Total Cost $10.90 Much easier. Now I am not sure about insurance levels.

If you use the Small Flat Rate box it will cost $4.80 via paypal or $4.95 at the post office. Plus you get free delivery confirmation with paypal shipping. The box is not very sturdy and you have to use lots of tape when shipping rolls. I use this box when I am shipping 4-8 certified coins.

 

Next you go to the post office ask for these boxes and you will save the next time you ship!!
