I sent a physics textbook in one before. Sure the thing was going to explode, but nothing a little bit of free USPS tape could fix. Net weight: 5.6 lbs, cost $3.85

Uhm, not that i can tell.

Taken from their site:

The 1-pound rate is charged for matter sent in a Priority Mail flat-rate envelope provided by the USPS, regardless of the actual weight of the piece

That is true LMAO

Media mail is the suck! Takes too freaking long!@#
btw, they didnt say you can't use boxing tape to seal it, as long as it can be crammed in. IT is OK...
