Hehehe. Yes it sure is. They try to sucker to spend much more on priority and they make you drag your asss all the way to post office too to send first class. It's such a dirty scam.

That shouldn't be more than $26ish going flat rate priority even.  That sounds like the GXP or Express mail price.

how much would it be for a box, 9.5 long, 6.25 wide, and 4.5 tall with those 33 keycaps, and bubble wrap cost to send? firstclass would be nice, but cheaper would be ok

There isn't anything cheaper than first class. 

Also, in full defense, if you click the priority and first class options on "quote me some postage", it shows priority being $24.96 and first class being $12.15.

I assumed sturdy box packaging on my first estimate. It should be really close.

There used to be cheaper for international, parcel by sea and it was like almost same as domestic rates but those dirty crooks took it away long time ago.

did you change the country option to singapore though? i go to the postage calculator page, and type in a weight for package. How much would 33 PBT keys weigh?

The US Post Office website has got to be the worst and most user-un-friendly that I have ever seen.

Pack the keys well and send them in an envelope. It won't be too bad.

I did.  And I would expect no more than a pound.  I put in half a pound.  Flat rate priority is good for up to 4 lbs for small I think.  You may be risking parcel instead of first class if you go that way, which is just a stupid halfway between first and priority for abnormal packages.

See?  Told you.

Please do not do this.

If you want to lock your thread, that's fine.  But don't edit out the OP and the subject.  Now this potentially useful reference thread is headless and confusing.
