Priority Mail.  One of which is the thickness of the package.  I am
certain the AF1 will not qualify for the 1/4 inch thickness limit.  That
is a post office limit, and has nothing to do with Elecraft.  If the
extra cost of a thick package sent first class exceeds the priority mail
rate, then nothing is to be gained by shipping 1st class.

         There is NOT a 1/4" thickness limit on all First Class Mail.
That applies only to a **letter**.  You can send **packages** via
First Class as long as the weight is 13 ounces or less and the combined
length and girth is <108 inches.

         In my experience Elecraft generally has the lowest shipping
costs of almost anyone and I'm often shocked how fast USPS First Class
packages make the trip from California.
