[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 317987, member: 1233"] Look into priority mailing. There are flat rate envelopes and boxes. The postal service supplies the envelope or box at NO cost to you. There are also variable rate boxes, but the flat rate is usually a better bet. IF they are shipped from a post office they can be tracked. If you schedule a pickup you have no tracking unless the mailperson does extra steps. From experience, that means the item gets there before tracking info is available. The envelopes and boxes from the post office hold up very very well in rain and other wet conditions. Not perfect, but very well. I have yet to ahve the contents damaged in any way, even after I dropped a package into a huge puddle. I hope you can get them sent easily. This is an exciting time, but it is nerve wracking to wait for the details to work themselves out. Here is a link to info about Priority Mail : [url]http://www.usps.com/shipping/prioritymail.htm[/url] This link shows flat rate and zone rate pricing for Priority Mail: [url]http://www.usps.com/prices/priority-mail-prices.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
