sending a package...

[Lindsay]

ok so i have sent lots of packages to aaron already but the APO box i am sending is HUGE and i struggle to find enough stuff to stuff in it to keep it from moving around too much. i pay like $10 something when i send it...
does anyone know if there is a smaller box?

You could always buy rice crispy treats and stuff it full as packing stuff. :) But they have solid rate boxes they give you for free. You just need to ask your post office.

i get the smallest falt rate box and i think its 10.35 for me to send. dont feel bad i always have a hard time figuring out what to put in it. and seem to send him the same stuff alot. but scott told me today that the best things are things that make him think of home.

There is one like is like $8.95. I used those when they were out of the big ones at the Post Office.

I'd get in touch with your FRG, some have the packages that you can mail for free to APO/FPO addresses. They know they are on deployment and give you a break. I'd check with them.

I was confused... ok... the above link, you can order boxes for free. Now, once filled, you can pay for the shipping online, print, tape to the box, and put in your out going mail. Sorry... Hope that helps. OOOO, and it's $2 cheaper then the other FRB (flat rate boxes) when mailing.

I havn't spent more than 8.75 to send a box yet....
Ummmm my suggestion is to get a bunch of boxes from family and friends so you don't have to buy them and then just pay for the shipping but make sure you mis light and heavy stuff in the same box so it's not too much
