[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 306837, member: 8012"][b]Standards?[/b] There are standards, but you've got a lot of people who don't really know the rules that are taking your packages. I got a USPS "sub-station" that is 2 blocks from where I live. If I go there, I usually get better rates. If I go to the real Post Office about five blocks away, it costs more. Especially with a few coins - there is a "letter" rate, a "flat" rate and a "parcel" rate. If you use a small bubble envelope. The final price depends whether it fits through a slot they've set up on a piece of cardboard. If it's just a few coins, NEVER put them in a tube. Try to get some cardboard and line them up flat and then put another piece of cardboard over them. Then tape or staple. This will save you anywhere from 50 cents to 2 dollars when sending small quantities of coins.[/QUOTE]
