typically the flat rate boxes are great if you're sending something heavy. otherwise just use regular priorty mail. it'll save you money.
click and ship, you save like 10% for doing it online, and delivery confirmation is free, where at PO it costs.
if you have a fairly accurate scale and a printer, do it online. you won't believe the cost savings. but yes, california costs more regardless. but even then i've paid less for online than for walk-in...
and they take paypal!
edit: if you ship a LOT, invest in a good scale. from usps for about $35, you'll save that in just 10-12 boxes. (or less) - i have a hanging 'fish hook' scale from ebay for about $5. package box, stick the hook in the corner and hang away. accurate to a 10th of a pound.
