    Yeah, I was able to figure it out. Just need to go tomorrow to get 1 box for one of the laptops, and then weigh it and measure it, and I will be set. Thanks for the information.



    I agree...



    Thanks for the information. I will go on there right now and order some. For tomorrow though, I will just have to go to the store and buy a box, because they need to be shipped tomorrow, and the boxes take like almost 2 or more weeks to get here for some reason.

    I have a bunch of USPS boxes already, but none of them fit the laptops lol
    Dont go buy a box. Just go to your local post office and get the box you need. They should have all the different sizes in stock. Also unlike medium and large flat rate boxes the regional boxes have a weight limit. So dont go thinking you can ship 40 pounds of ram in a regional A box.

    Well with my post office, if you don't have a shipping label in your hand to show them, you gotta pay for the box.

    Unless I am wrong about that. I know the first time I shipped something, I called in to see if they had the box in stock, and they told me the price of it. So, when I went in, I had the label in my hand, and cash, and they handed me the box and didn't have to pay. So granted I am a bit confused on that.

    Yes GEO you have to pay for the non priority boxes. But you should be able to find a priority box to fit that laptop. Then you dont have to pay for the box.

    So, I walk in, point to a priority box and can get one for FREE? Maybe that was the issue that time then..

    Yes any box you can get online for free and shipped to you, you can get that same box at your local post office for free. The cost of the box is allready calculated into the cost of the postage.
