A tip on priority mail shipping. If you go the the Post Office web site (http://www.usps.com), you can print a label and pay for the shipping there. They give you a discounted rate for purchasing the shipping online ($11.30 for a medium box instead of $12.65). In addition, the post office usually has a designated spot for these packages and you don't have to wait in line to drop them off. Just drop them on the counter and go. I also keep a supply of the boxes at home. One of each size. That way I don't have to make an extra trip to get a box.
