FYI - Shipped a cutting mat via USPS
#1
I have seen that people are under the impression that they have to send a cutting mat via UPS, so I thought this might interest you all who choose to ship them. I was able to purchase 2 10x30 foam boards at Dollar Tree and then cut them to size, about an inch larger than the mat. Sandwiched the mat between the 2 boards, secured the mat with a couple of strips of tape to secure it, taped the 2 boards together (edges and 3 wrap arounds), took it to the post office and sent it Priority mail for $5. Hope this helps you all lower your shipping costs, I know I need to save whenever possible. :)
