Whoops, missed your "four lbs" remark.

of course Patrick, flat rate is for the heavy stuff. But if you're
shipping a lot of air, it's the wrong choice.

IME, flat rate can sometimes be cheaper depending on weight. Extreme
example: not too long ago I shipped about 12 lb of freewheels in a "medium"
flat rate box for $12 or so; non-flat-rate would have been higher.
Again, IME, I have from time to time found that Parcel is cheaper enough to
warrant th
flat rate is higher, because they've calculated for over four pounds. I
believe From my experience, the difference between parcel and priority is
usually about 10-15% and for me it's not worth a trip to the post office to
purchase it. The best deal in shipping is Fed-Ex ground, if you have an
No to that. As to higher without their flat rate packaging, yes and no.
Higher rate, very possibly, but not much higher, and sometimes cheaper.
Priority that doesn't use a flat rate box is charged by distance, weight,
and volume. Below 12 oz first class is often cheaper; beyond a certain
volume --
If I understand the USPS website correctly, anything that won't fit into
one of their Priority Mail boxes is charged at a much higher rate. ~$30
assuming a shipping weight of 3 lbs.
Maybe someone here has shipped Noodles before and can confirm or correct
this.
