Hi Barry,

                 The 2 boards most likely exceed the 14 oz limit.  If you really 
want 1st class mail used. split the order as 2 separate boards.  That may still 
be cheaper than UPS and quicker too.  Don't know about CO .but cross country to 
NJ It seems to me that USPS pretty consistently beats UPS with 1st class or 
Priority mail. on a price and performance basis.

YMMV.....
