RE: [Killietalk] Fw: [NFC]: NEW Flat rate priority mail boxes

["Stuart R Scott" <sscott255 at comcast_net>]

I just received some of these boxes for my business. They're Priority Mail
2-3 day delivery, any place in the USA for $ 7.70. No weight limit. The box
is sturdy and measures 8 1/2" X 11" X 6" high. If you put 1" styro inside
top, bottom and all sides you would have an inside area of approximately 6
1/2" x 9" x 4" high. If you used 1/2" foam you could add an inch to the
inside measurements. Not a bad deal for $ 7.70. BTW, the boxes are free.

This was on one of the native fish lists, thought it might be of interest.
