Answer 1

you're kidding right

Answer 2

Seal the box with packaging tape . No strings . It will have to be weighed at the post office and you will pay there for postage . There are automated machines if you have a charge card or ATM . You can not mail liquids or anything illegal . The cost to mail "flat-rate" boxes run about $9-$10 and the ends on the boxes already have glue on them so you do not need tape .Either ask at the counter , or look in the lobby . Make sure it says "flat rate" . That means no matter how heavy the package is , the cost is the same . If you send books or magazines you can use "book rate" which is cheaper but longer in delivery . Over-night runs roughly $16 & up . Priority is the best way to go : usually 2-3 days . Do not be impatient once you get to the post-office . It is not uncommon to wait in a line of at least 1 dozen people .If it's a good crew , the clerks can zip thru in 10-15 minutes . Bring a book .P.S. Whatever you do - don't talk on your cell in line..there's nothing more aggravating than trying to read while somebody is griping at the top of their lungs for 15 minutes into the cell..about how long the line is .
