Great thread title Del, caught my attention.You may want to consider shipping priority and using DCNs. You can pick up a whack of 7 X 10 Priority Post envelopes at the Post Office, and grab a stack of DCNs at the same time. They have $4.95 Priority Post stamps you can buy, and just add the DCN and a 80 cent stamp, and you're golden to drop it in any mailbox without mailing from a Post Office. I wish you the best of luck here on the Silk Road.
