OK, so i'm trying to print out a shipping label on USPS.

what do you guys use for package weight?

do you just guess?

i believe i can use a standard video box up to 4 lbs. or is the new thing as long as it fits in the box it ships for a flat rate.

i don't know what to do!!!

if you use their box, if it fits it ships. i never weigh. can't imagine anything in the smallest box weighing more than a pound or two

If the box says FLAT RATE on it then you pick either the Small, medium, or large postage option depending on the box. I am not sure about the media mailer, but is it not flat rate? Flat rate boxes the weight really does not matter as long as it is less than 70 lbs, maybe funkejj or Shuckins has sent one of those but.....So i just guess the weight

For all other priority mail boxes or regular brown boxes, you need to know the exact weight. (or a close guess)

You can order the flat rate boxes from USPS online for free. The 4.95 for flat rate small box include DC and I do not think Priority mail prices are any lower. The decision comes with Medium boxes as if the weight is low, the postage may be lower for a regular priority box rather than one of the flat rate boxes...

Did any of that make sense?
