I shipped 6 DVD's from South Dakota to my niece in North Carolina on Friday. She got them on Tuesday. $6 and change. A bargain if you ask me.
Go ahead and flame me about my stupidity.... I think the USPS is reasonable!
Oh they are pretty reasonable for smaller packages and some of the flat rate stuff. But I tried to send off a Dot Matrix printer that weighed around 34 pounds. USPS wanted $70 plus insurance. It left Illinois on a FedEx truck for $36 with full insurance.
