Remember the U.S. Postal Service?
Yeah, they're still around.
And there's nothing more exciting {maybe it's just me} than opening up that mailbox and finding some good mail in there.
I slapped some mailing labels and stamps on the front of the box. I doodled on my labels. Then I wrote messages on the back with a Sharpie.
The best part??? The weight is right on the box. You don't even need a postage scale. If it is under 13 ounces you can slap a stamp on it and send it first class.
Fun I idea, I just hope the mailman isn't hungry!!
ReplyDeleteI hope those Hot Tamales are on their way to my house. Mmmmm.
ReplyDeleteCute! How easy is it just to slap a label on and send it~!
ReplyDeleteHow much is postage for one of those candy boxes?
ReplyDeleteI want the lemon heads.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to send some candy to my college student daughter!
ReplyDeleteMy kids would LOVE this!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
so are you saying I can put a forever stamp on it and that will cover it??? if not howmuch is postage???
ReplyDeleteCherie, these size boxes usually run anywhere from $2.40-3.00 depending on the weight. I used some $1 stamps, some $0.20 stamps and some forevers.
DeleteYou couldn't just use a forever stamp. Find rates here: http://www.accuracyproject.org/abbreviations.html
ReplyDeleteIf the box weighed eight ounces, it would be $2.80.
for $5.80 you can use the Small Priority Mail Box (8 5/8 x 5 3/8 x 1 5/8)and as I remember that can hold at least 2 of the bigger candy boxes.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a good and unique way of sending stuff. Nice!
