Beware Of the Post Office
Since I ship everyday I have gotten to know the post office people really well.
One day I went in to ship and I said "send this the cheapest way." They listed me a quote of $23 for express mail then $16 for Priority for a package that should have been around $3-$4.
I said "isn't there anything cheaper like parcel post?" She grinned and said "yes, but we can't say anything but express mail and priority mail now. If you want to know parcel post and the media mail rates you have to ask for it specifically." Of course the package cost $4 parcel post.
Don't assume what they tell you is the cheapest way to go. Ask for parcel post or media if it's books etc.
