I discovered this money saving tip when shipping Priority Mail. So spread the word.
If you ship a lot of mid-sized items using the 12" x 12" x 8" Priority Mail Box O-BOX7, you should check first to see if the item will fit into the 7.5 X 5.125 X 14.375 Priority Mail Shoe Box .
The Shoe Box only weighs 5.8oz compared to the 12'x12"x8" which weighs 13oz unpacked.
It may not seem like a lot, but if it means the difference between an item that weighs 2 lbs in the 12"x12'x8' box that could of been less than 2 lbs in the Shoe Box, that will save you a few bucks when shipping coast to coast. And every little bit helps.
