Mailing Tips

Mailing Tips From Parents:
"...mail seems to get to the academy faster if the 300 Steamboat Road is part of the address. Mail will be delivered with just USMMA on it, but it takes about a day longer"

Priority Mail Tips:
You can order Priority Mailing Boxes from the US Post Office that are free and delivered to your home. They are delivered in a box that holds 25 boxes. Because they are flat, they are actually quite compact--about 4-5 inches wide: Free USPS Priority Mailing Boxes Shipped to Your Home.

Also, don't forget to order the free labels that go with them Free USPS Priority Mailing Labels.

One of the best deals going for heavier items are the 2 sizes of Flat Rate Priority Mailing Boxes: 12"x3.5"x14" or 11"x8.5"x5.5" -- "Any weight, any State, $9.80. No matter which Flat Rate Box you choose, the postage is $9.80, regardless of weight or destination" These save you a bundle for heavier items!

Note that boxes (including the flat rate) and labels may also available at the post office.
