I always ship in regional boxes. Usually $4-$5 per box cheaper. There is no distance limit on them. I ship to East or West coast for $10.89. USPS doesn't want the public to get wind of usage. You can order the boxes on line with NO limitations. They will tell you TECHNICALLY your are not supposed to use them. I used to ship everyday and they never said a word.

I stopped back in today, and another person I know waited on me.
He said two sizes of A and B.
He gave me two sizes of B, that the first person didn't know what they were doing.
I noted that the two B sizes, rectangular, and square, are just a bit bigger than the medium flat rate boxes.

According to the red notes, the square one can be up to 70lbs on domestic, and the rectangular only 20lbs domestically.

I need to go back and get the other size A. The one I currently have is good up to 70 lbs for domestic.

Anybody know what the prices for the two sizes of A and B are?
