    They dont give a rate per pound Julie. Put your box together, and get a good weight guestimation, if that's all you can do for now, then go to their shipping rates page, and put in the size (measure liberally, they certainly will ) and weight, and get your rate guestimation from that. If you want to know then, what if it weighed more ( can I add to the contents ) or should i make it less, go back around the rates again, changing the weight to see where the rates change at. That's the only way I know how to do it, if you ship things enough, you kind of get a feel for it, but starting fresh, you've just got to find your way around different size packages, different weights, different destinations, signed for? etc
    Also, in your case now, I'm certain you'll be shipping to a business address, which is a lessor rate than to residential , so be sure and check that box too in your queries, and make sure when you ship it, that they give you the business address rate as well (some places will charge the residential rate just because it's more, unless you insist otherwise, because those charges can come back on them, if they only charged business, and it turned out to be residential)
