[Boatanchors] Media mail

[manualman at juno.com]

Let's say you have 4 pounds of stuff you want to ship in a "box":

>From NJ to CA:
Priority: $15.90
Priority Flat Rate: $10.95
Parcel Post: $11.77
Media: $3.64

>From NJ to IL:
Priority: $12.40
Priority Flat Rate: $10.95
Parcel Post: $9.30
Media: $3.64

>From NJ to MA(Boston Area):
Priority: $7.85
Priority Flat Rate: $10.95
Parcel Post: $7.14
Media: $3.64

The prices will change for Priority and Parcel Post depending on the
shipper's ZIP to the receiver's ZIP. Bottom line; you need to review the
online ship choices to determine the best method of shipping. Priority
(70 lbs max - box L,W,H = 108 inches or less), Priority Flat Rate (as
much stuff as you can get into the box - as they say - if it fits, it
ships), Parcel Post (70 lbs max - box L,W,H = 130 inches or less), Media,
restrictions as discussed and documented on the USPS Postal web site.
