Regarding the USPS parcel post, is that a bad thing?

I have looked over and over again at USPS boxes, and none of them seem big enough to do motherboards, pci cards, etc. all in one box...unless I am missing something lol

LOL GEO your not going to find a box at USPS big enuff to ship the motherboards in. I get those free at walmart. Call your local walmar and talk with the manager. Find out when you can come in to get boxes. THe night shift usualy stocks everything for the next day and a person on the day shift feeds boxes into the compacter for a few hours. You have to find the time between those 2 functions and every walmart is different. You will get all the free boxes you want.

NOW you tell me! lol

Just giving you a hard time

Since I am still kind of small time, I have no issues in just going to uhaul and spending a few bucks. But when I go to walmart next (which is multiple times per weeks thanks to my wife), than I will speak to them and see what can be done.
