If you have a bigger box than that, you will have to pad more than needed and also makes it heavier. The 2 vehicles + box + light packing paper/bubble weigh just about 3 lbs total and depending on where you are sending from/to (zones) could cost from $5.05 (local) to $10.55 (zone 8). Saves a few bucks. I've always been one of the lowest shippers on eBay, maybe I'll share some more of my USPS "trick" here.
I usually use the free boxes, but had a plain box laying around that looked like it would work just fine. I will admit tho, it was about an inch and a half taller then i needed. *Laugh* I guess i should look for EXACT sized boxes now. It's common sense to pack everything as snug as you can in the smallest box, but i did for the most part which is funny, and here i am thinkin USPS gives the best deals.
Anyways, i have the receipt here...about 3 1/2 pounds in weight and shipped to (zone 8). I tossed in some Styrofoam peanuts and a tiny piece of bubble wrap.
