Happy Shipping!

This is a short n' sweet post but something you will LOVE! I send a lot of packages because I had two missionaries out at the same time for about 9 months and now my daughter and her little family live in MN.

This is an ingenious trick to send more for less.


A lady at the post office taught me this trick and I have realized very few people know about it!


You can turn a flat rate envelope into a pouch to increase the capacity. It holds a lot more than a small flat rate box ($6) and about as much as a medium flat rate ($13) for only $6. So worth it!


I do this all the time! Just fold the bottom both ways, and flatten it out from the inside, folding the corners and taping them up into a rectangular bottom.

Secure with lots of tape. Happy shipping!
