Three years ago it was a different story. I made good use of those flat rate boxes when my hubby was in Iraq.

My husband was in the service (Army and in Germany) when I met him (via real snail mail letters which I still have hidden away). So since Granny said the way to his heart was through his stomach I sent food ... I remember a date nut cake baked in an angel food type pan that he loved. Wrapped it well and packed it in popcorn. I'd hate to pay postage on something that heavy.
