Well, I was just curious. Always see the common $15/16 charge on ebay and such, and just wondered how Scrooged you're getting when you don't live cross country from them.
Most people use those flat rate priority boxes, which can easily run $17. I can ship exactly 1 dozen eggs in a priority "shoe box" to most places in Georgia for $6. I used either paper products, or bubble wrap from packages I have received, to pack them. Still goes the same speed, it's just not "flat rate".
Flat rate is really only a bargain if you're shipping small heavy items, or if you do ship "normal weight" items across the country.
