I'm shipping my first packages tomorrow with the priority boxes I just got in the mail today. I can just put these in the appropriate parcel drop off boxes after I apply the pre-paid label and everything, right? I don't need to wait in line for anything do I?

No you don't have to wait. There is the "13oz rule" for dropping packages in the box, but that only applies to stamped mail. If you're mailing Priority Mail with a pre-paid label, you can just drop it in the box and be on your way.

I'm a USPS convert! It just gets there quicker and cheaper.

Great info,

Another note is flat rate envelopes are $4.75 to ship (using Click-n-ship) up to 4lbs. A large video box will actually fit inside the envelope if you need extra protection.

A flat rate envelope when sending internationally costs around $10 so it is a very affordable way to send from country to country. I have sent several packages to BOTLs north of the border this way and all have made it perfectly.

This info was shared to me by another BOTL so do not give me credit for the idea
