[QUOTE="umtrr-author, post: 156706, member: 5719"]No, that's not quite the same thing. There is a relatively new "flat rate" Priority Mail box. You can ship up to some large number like 70 pounds of material in that box anywhere in at least the "Lower 48" (continental USA) for that $8.10. This worked like a charm during the trip to California. I bought a lot of model railroad supplies and shipped them all back for $8.10 instead of trying to stuff them in our suitcases. Turned out it was more than 11 pounds worth of stuff after adding in a book that my wife had finished and didn't want to carry on the plane. It was here the day after we got back, a less than three day transit time. I don't really see any applications for coins-- except for supplies, perhaps-- but the flat rate box can be a great deal if you play it right. There is still the weight and zone Priority Mail that we're familiar with. That starts at $4.05 for one pound to a certain distance away from you.[/QUOTE]
