Yes, but bubble wrap and other packaging materials are not free.. Also that is not the rate you have to pay if you read the section - other options are available. If you want it sent first class in the end I will figure that out for you. Those are just rates that I can guarantee and I can do that only because I know how much Shipping and the Box are going to cost me then I can just judge the extra costs..
You may find that shipping via Priority is actually cheaper than first class in some cases because of the cost of materials.
We are not really going to get into another thing over shipping now are we... This is one area where I do know what I am doing as I ship all over the world in my normal business..
From the US Post office website: Shipping - Small Flat Rate box to Canada $11.45 Post Office Price. Meduim Flat Rate Box $26.95. I have listed $12.00 and $30.00 for these I don't think $.55 - $3.05 is too much for Additional shipping supplies.. In actuality should be higher especially for bubble wrap in the Medium box (bubble wrap and popcorn isn't cheap). Probably should be $13.00 and $32.00 but I will leave it at the $12/$30
In all reality I probably would not suggest the Small Flat Rate Priority box as there is not a whole lot of protection on the spines.. It is sort of a speed vs. protection trade off on that one. It should be OK but you never know.
Now back to the bidding.... (hopefully...)
