Hey Everyone,
I'm creating this thread to hopefully getting some feedback on shipping costs. For those of you who don't know, I'm the designer behind the Galvanic Playing Cards. I found out day from uspcc that the production run is 100% complete and I will be getting the decks shipped to my house next week. During this time I would really like to plan out the shipping to all my backers.

After doing some research I found that the uspc flat rate boxes were the best way to go. They start at $5.15 a package and can hold up to 70 lbs. Do you guys have any other suggestions for me? This is my first time doing this so this is why I need as much feedback as possible.

Thank you!

From my location, Indianapolis, here are the best rates.

1 deck - S-9984 uline bubble envelope with paper wrap filler - First Class
2-4 decks - S-9986 uline Bubble Envelope with paper wrap filler - First Class
5-8 - Small FRB with filler - Priority
9-12 - 9"x4"x3" uline box with filler - depends on distance
13-30 - Regional A FRB with filler - Priority
31-48 - Medium FRB or Regional B FRB with filler - Priority
49-84 - Large FRB with filler - Priority

ship all uncuts and posters in the 24"x3" with the THICK .125 inch walls. uline - S-14048 and for the love of all that is holy use tape on the ends to secure the caps.

Regional FRB are USA only have have a lower weight limit. A-15lbs - B-20lbs but CAN be super cheap depending on where you are shipping to.

http://www.uline.com is the best place to buy shipping supplies, but order everything at once, they ONLY do 1 day shipping and it can get expensive if you make multiple orders.
