View Full Version : Care package question please! Berkley 09-17-2007, 05:01 PM I have 2 of those flat rate boxes that you get from the USPS how much will it cost to mail one overseas? navyaowife2005 09-17-2007, 05:03 PM It all depends on how much it weighs and the length. Plus if you add insurance to it. Berkley 09-17-2007, 05:04 PM 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. guynavywife 09-17-2007, 05:05 PM Don't forget, APO addresses are not overseas for shipping purposes. Shipping to any base around the world should also be US costs. Envelopes • Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelopes can be used for both domestic and international shipping: — Available anywhere in the U.S. for $4.60 — One rate to Canada and Mexico for $9.00 — One rate to all other countries for $11.00 *4 pound maximum for international shipments • The dimensions of the envelope are 12 1/2" X 9 1/2". Boxes • Flat Rate Boxes can be used for both domestic and international shipping: — Available to anywhere in the U.S. for $8.95 — One rate to Canada and Mexico for $23.00 — One rate to all other countries for $37.00 *20 pound maximum for international shipments • The inside dimensions for the two boxes available are 11" x 8.5" x 5.5" and 13.625" x 11.875" x 3.375". The two boxes are different shapes to accomodate a variety of contents. • The contents of the flat rate box must be neatly contained inside the box with adhesive packaging tape. • The box must close securely and retain its shape when taped with adhesive. • The shape of the box may not be changed or enlarged to fit its contents. http://www.usps.com/shipping/flatrate.htm don't forget, apo addresses as not considered overseas for shipping purposes.

BrittanyJo 09-17-2007, 05:18 PM 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 Berkley 09-17-2007, 05:19 PM 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 C'swife 09-17-2007, 05:20 PM yeah its definately not more than $9 AirmansPrincess 09-17-2007, 08:28 PM 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!:mrgreen rosebud* 09-17-2007, 08:33 PM yup as long as you don't mishape the box you can put up to 70lbs in there and it will only cost 8.95 i am sure you know this, but you can order the flat rate boxes online for free. along with the custom forms too, so you don't have to go the post office and grab some ( incase they are out or low) princessgwynn 09-17-2007, 08:34 PM $8.95 I just sent one today!
