Go to USPS.com - you will need to register to get stuff but it is worthwile to take the 2 minutes to do so.
Most of us use Priority Mail with an additional cost delivery confirmation added to ensure we can prove delivery of things sent. Typoically this totals less than $ 6 for domestic shipments and typical delivery time is 1-3 days.
Probably the most useful size is the 1096L large video cassette mailing size. http://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stor...-1&WT.ac=11643
The 1096S a slightly smaller box is also useful.
There are a myriad of other sizes available to you but taking the time to do a little shopping FREE on the WWW.USPS.com site is time well spent. |
This is great info. I don't know if there is a "generally accepted shipping practices" thread but I have never had a bad experience with usps and I always appreciate the DC#. It's only like, $1 extra?
also since we are speaking generally, anyone else notice that their taste preferences seem to evolve in the opposite direction of conventional wisdom?
I see full bodied or super fuerte cigars advertised as "for experienced smokers" but they seem to be favored most by new enthusiasts.
From personal experience I can say I used to prefer strong, dark maduros and oscuros but over the years I've come to favor very light, mild to medium cigars.
In fact, the only maduros I actually prefer over their natural counterparts are Padrons.
