[QSL-Managers] boxes for buro shipments

Mon, 11 Feb 2002 10:58:19 -0500

Art,  I buy boxes from U-Line for smaller shipments ....usually sized 4 by 6
by whatever depth makes sense.

Generally, a good rule is that up to 4 pounds, send surface mail.  above 4
pounds, use their M-Bag rate.

If you want, and depending what quantity you have, I can help you send
these.  I have been helping a few other QSL managers and contesters that
send MAJOR quantity by bulking together.  If you look at the M bag rate, at
some point, you can get down to under 2/pound.  I think the average cost
that we've realized is on the order of 3.50 to 4/pound....and the more that
get involved,t he lower the overall cost will be.  Just mailed, for example,
almost 50 pounds to JA.

Contact me directly if you have any ?'s on this
