NO, I don't work for the post office! I'm a NERD...yes, I admitted it. I am a nerd and love to do stupid comparisons like this. The postage calculator on USPS.com is awesome!

Actually, normal packaging means non-flat rate boxes, but you're still sending it priority, just like a flat rate box. Just use a left over box from C-bid or Amazon!
What...a thread this good and no rep points?!?
