Moose, this is very interesting. I've done this with flat items, but have
been told that any package over 2 pounds must go "over a countera", i.e., be
handed to a counter person at authorized facility. Does your carrier accept
packages of that description? If so, I wonder if the rules changed? That
would be very convenient.
Thanks!/ScottGee1
