[Boatanchors] donate old periodicals

You might consider USPS Flat Rate boxes for magazines.  Magazines tend to be heavy and Flat Rate is a single price for whatever fits into the box. And USPS provides the box.

Amen Pete.

I recently purchased a group of 1930s Radio News magazines on the Bay.  The
seller used Media Mail.  The package being held at the Post Office notice
arrive with a note:  The package had been opened (and inspected) and the
note had a bill for Insufficient Postage, Postage Due.  When I got the
package there was a sheet of rules for media mail inserted.  The way the
postal authorities approached me was as if I had mailed the thing knowingly
trying to avoid their rules!  This in a town of 1200 with a post office.

Cheers
Gerry
