Sending Packages Overseas?

The US Postal system has FINALLY figured out how much it is costing to send care packages overseas. There is a new service - "FLAT RATE" Boxes are available at your local post office. They are 11" x 5 1/2" x 81/2" . Postage is a flat rate of $7.70 and you can pack up to 70#. Compared to the normal $1.98 per #, this is a huge savings.
