Hi GeauxTigers!! I hate I missed meeting you at the M&G last Thursday, but wasn't the entire weekend the Best Ever!!! I'm Still excited!!! And...So Happy to talk/text/Skype with him!!!
I just sent my son's laptop & accessories, laptop case, sweat shirts, T-shirts, and a few other items to him at NAS Pensacola today! I took everything to Mailbox, Etc & they had the perfect box for it. It was sent FedEx Ground (though I initially thought it was going USPS.) The total cost, including box, bubble wrap, and tax was $29.47. I was able to text him the Expected Arrival Date (this Friday) and the Tracking #.
While out & about today, I stopped by our neighborhood Post Office to pick up a few Flat Rate boxes in case I choose to package future items at home. It just so happened that the biggest Flat Rate box wouldn't have been big enough for what I sent today. Of course, I could have found some other box to use, but I decided on the easier, more convenient route for myself this time.
Hopefully, someone will come along and give better advice (which I'll be watching for) but I just wanted to share my experience! Also, to say....Congratulations to you & your SAILOR!!! So happy & proud of them All!!! :-)
