My son brought in my daughter's birthday present.

A double blanket with a wolf on it.

We used a space bag to "fit" it into the large flat rate box. It had bulges of course but we duct tape that baby up! It was good to go. We checked the website to ensure it was within parameters. It was!

This afternoon my son took the box into the main branch in our city.

The wonderful man staffing the desk was honest "I would feel better about it making it there in one piece if it were in a larger box!" He then helped my son transfer the blanket into a larger box and he was able to include her birthday card (we forgot to put it in the box!)

I feel so much better about it making it there. You rock!
