I did a clean out for a school not long ago and have several working apple mac computer keyboards
which is the ones with usb port ends.
I see they do ok on ebay so im going to go that route.
Im just wondering since most of the priority boxes dont seem to fit these keyboards where could I get boxes for them?
Thanks for the help.
i think regional rate b will hold 3 keyboards. or get large flat rate board game boxes usps.com
Thanks never used the regional rate b ones but I will certainly look into that one. The game board type flat rate boxes would work perfectQuote:

There should be a way to order them and your mailman drop them off, like Domino's, just doesn't taste as good.Quote:

I managed to find some large game board flat rate boxes.
These keyboards are too good condition to be scrapped and even at $20 for a lot of 3 or 4
would still be better then anything price wise as scrap since these keyboards are universal for all apple mac stuff.
be awful expensive to ship a dumpster,,,,Quote:

boxes are easy to make. I think you could even just lay the bubble wrapped keyboard on the cardboard and start folding it over until it's surrounded, cut the board there and tape it up, cut the ends into flaps and fold those in and tape, label and ship
You can make some pretty nice boxes with a hot glue gun and a pair of scissors.
You could try a computer store and see if they might have some or maybe save some for you. If they would save some you maybe give them a couple bucks as a thank you.
for those that might not know, the regional rate Priority Mail boxes are only to be used if you print your own postage...if you pack them and take them to the post office counter to pay for your postage they will probably be refused...if they accept them they will probably charge you the regular per-pound Priority Mail postage, not the discounted Regional Rate...Quote:

You can order the large flat rate Priority Mail boxes on USPS.com for free, they send a box of 10 or so to you. Yes, a board game will fit in them. the trouble is now the new rates make it touch and go for shipping priority, unless you are sending across the country.Quote:
