Care package question please!

I have 2 of those flat rate boxes that you get from the USPS how much will it cost to mail one overseas?

[navyaowife2005]

It all depends on how much it weighs and the length. Plus if you add insurance to it.

[Berkley]

if it's flat rate then the weight doesn't matter. I have no idea the length it's the one that you get from calling the 1800 number.

Don't forget, APO addresses are not overseas for shipping purposes. Shipping to any base around the world should also be US costs.

flat rate is always 8.95 for me. Nothing is better than having the people at the post office know who you are and also knowing the exact amount you will pay. ha

Thanks everyone!
I seriously looked at the website and saw the $37 and started bawling. I think I'm too stressed out right now. I need to decompress somehow

I just went to the post office today and talked to the guy that works there. He gave me 2 boxes that are different shapes that are free with a flat rate fee of $8.95. He also gave me some of the cutoms forms. Go talk to your local PO they will hook you up with the boxes!
