You can lie and call it media mail. Technically, it is something to read, it's just printed on cloth. Way cheaper.
This is true but I think that the PO reserves the right to make media mail take as long as they want. I think that Priority is the best way to go. I find most people do not mind paying Priority mail as long as you do not sit on the order for 3 or 4 days or more. BTW, check and see what 2 shirts would be in a regular box or the 'Tyvec' envelope to the west coast. If it is 2.0 pounds or less it should be cheaper to do regular Priority than to do the Flat rate box. If it is 2 pounds 1 ounce or more it is better to use the flat rate box, by my quick calculations with the usps shipping calculator. Check it with my zip as I am on the west coast. 93420
BTW, I got a single t-shirt from dlo in one of the tyvec envelopes and it did just fine. Those envelopes are impossible to rip.
And, isn't there a flat rate envelope for $4.60?? can't you cram 2 shirts in that. Sweet talk the lady at the PO and tell her that you are going to be doing a lot of Priority shipping and get her to give you a roll or 2 of the priority tape. That way you can make sure the flat rate envelope does not bust open.
Also Dr. you could go to the dude at the PO and tell him you are a docter and try and sweet talk him.
WOW, that took me 20 minutes to compose
