I mailed an item out yesterday that needed to be less than 3 pounds (cheaper cost). The box itself was already 1 lb 4.15oz.
My tip: Trim a little bit of box side flaps to reduce some cardboard weight. Do not trim entirely if it's a larger box because all flaps on boxes are designed for safe/sturdy transportation. For what I was shipping (sweater), it was completely fine to cut off some cardboard and my box reduced to 1 lb 2.35 oz.
That helped because my box with the sweater ended up being just a little under 3 lbs!

This is a tip that I am going to use!
Thank you for the hint!!! Postage is really expensive these days!!
Pastage going up in Jan 2019.(not sure of the exact date) but Stamps will be 55 cents. recommend buying Forever stamps now.
My mom got a letter from her post office that said an additional 15cent stamp would have to be bought to go with the forever stamps. I don't remember the prices for sending pigs, but it was outrageous. New prices take effect Jan. 27
With the price of anything that is a great deal. The mail has not had a lot of good remarks about it since it is rural. We found our mail almost in the road and in the ditch as well as she had stuffed things into it while it was full.
