[Dx-qsl] How best to send DXCC submission?

[FireBrick]

Joe, the answer was staring you in the face when you were at the PO.
Grab some of those free, US Priority Mail envelopes or boxes..

I send  all my qsl's and other stuff that way.
It's only a bit more than first class.
It's the best deal the PO has.

The boxes are tough...and the labels are free also.
