Not only that, but wait until you mail a PACKAGE! They have to be within 1782 (I think) square inches. A package that would have cost me $9.95 to mail priority two weeks ago now costs over $20!!! :shock:
So, be aware!

Yes, be aware of the 'no greater than a total of 84 inches for width, length, girth' requirement. My postmaster and I were chatting, and depending on where you are sending a package to, using TWO regular or flat rate boxes can be cheaper than shipping in one larger box.

I ship a lot with our small business and try always to use the free priority boxes whenever possible (they will allows come into the size conformity).

Also, my postmaster seems to think they are going to offer discounts for using the online 'clicknship' , but so far it doesn't look like it, just free delivery confirmation.
