Update

Well, it got interesting at USPS today. I show up with a printed Priority Mail box taped and addressed. I wait in a line of about 30 people and when I get to one of 2 windows open out of 5, I was told wrong box. There's PM and then there's PM Flat rate, which has its own set of boxes. Mine was slightly to large. As it stood, it would have been $39 to ship.

UPS was 24 and I can go to the FedEx terminal and most likely get it out to NJ for 18-19. Kroggers wants a tracking number which is no problem with FE or UPS.

Now, to straighten this all out. if you ship USPS Express delivery, you can get a tracking no. PM gets you a confirmed delivery, that's all. No tracking available.

I might rebox these belts an take the box to FedEx. Never a line there. And I get $100 insurance for free. You pay more for ins with USPS.

So, I just happened to send some mail with USPS Certified Mail last week & I got a "Notice Left" message on the 31st. Then I got a "Delivered" message today, but it had a different zip code...Is that because it might have been picked up at a post office or am I just being paranoid?

I just receive 2 front calipers in a FRB1 Medium Box and 2 Flag mirrors in a FRB2 Medium Box ... not bad for $10.70, especially when I split the cost with the nice guys that were selling them.

Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box (FRB1) $10.70 11" x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2"
Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box (FRB2) $10.70 13-5/8" x 11-7/8" x 3-3/8"
