I have two to mail. What do you suggest?

Good question? USPS has boxes that are a flat rate if you can shove it in them! Parcel post (probably the cheapest), UPS?

Good Luck!!!

I put mine in a matching pillowcase and put in one of many Connecting Threads boxes I have. I don't remember the exact postage cost but it was about the same as the flat rate. The connecting Thread boxes are the right size for being within the limits of the cheaper postage costs.

the small or medium flat rate boxes should work and are quite reasonable. save your receipt. the usps is still the least expensive option and they offer a variety. you can go to their web site, click on shipping, give them zip codes, to & from; size and weight of package and they will give you all the options and prices before you ever go to the post office, you can even print the label ( if you use a credit card to pay for the postage) put the label on it and the postal worker who delivers your mail will pick it up...no extra charge.........and no, i don't work for the usps,,, i just send lots of stuff all over the world. :)

The flat rate box is like $10.95. I just had one of the girls at work pick one up for me since she was going to the post office. I have to mail mine out also.

I have found that FedEx land is the cheapest way to ship most things. Usually it takes about a week to arrive but you can track it. I haven't found anything cheaper. If you do, let me know!

thanks for the tips..i will check out fedEx too. i use the plastic bags that were used to ship me items from QVC. since your paying by weight..it is not that bad..and actually i think it was cheaper than the flat rate usps. i want to say i paid under 9 bucks to ship the last two.
i have a 10 pound scale from the post office, i use..so i can make the cheapest shipping..

I actually put mine in a used flat rate box, cut open a brown paper bag, wrapped it up, taped good. It cost much less than the $10.95 flat rate box. Personally, I think the flat rate box is worthwhile when the items are heavy. JMO. Silvia

I have made 6 DQFK's and for me, shipping them UPS was the cheapest way to go.

I usually send 2 at a time and reuse a box I have around the house. Then I go to the post office and ask for the cheapest way to send it.
