Regional Flat Rate boxes, Y'all!

I was at the post office mailing my husbands Easter care package, and the postal worker noticed just how stuffed the box was. He told me about these magical boxes called "Regional Flat Rate Boxes". They're HUGE compared to the large Flat Rate boxes. The way he explained them is the price is calculated by region (think time zones).

Well, you can also use these boxes to ship to APO addresses (Which are zone 5, if you're curious). The "C" box dimensions are 14-3/4" x 11-3/4" x 11-1/2". The only stipulation, is it can't weigh over 25 pounds. AND, it only costs $19.78 to mail them!!

On the Right, we have the Large Flat Rate box (Yes, Large) 

On the Left is the Regional Flat Rate Box - C

Now, If you remember, the Large Flat rate box costs $15.90 to ship to APO addresses (normally $17.90). It can hold up to 75 pounds. The Magical Regional Box - C costs $19.78 to ship to zone 5 (APO) and can hold up to 25 pounds. You may say Only 25 pounds? But, really, that's quite a lot. That's a big bag of cat food! 

Now do you understand my excitement? I picked some up as I was leaving the post office, but you can order them here. Free as always to order supplies!
