With all these sales of bulk mint items, what have people found to be best for shipping?

The flat rate boxes aren't generally large enough (though, it would be great if they were) to ship things like the 3pc SAE annv sets (unless only a couple of sets or less). I sent mine in regular boxes due to the size.
The GW $ FDCC, in boxes of 50, which seem pretty common, just exceed what I see for flat rate (and they seem quite heavy). I have some to ship out but figure I will get hosed on shipping due to weight. Anyone sell any in the "boxed 50" range and have advice?

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

I am not sure how much you charged for shipping?

I don't sell them by the boxes, for the same reason that you touched on.
Thanks. My scale at home only goes up to 5lbs.
I charged $19.95 so as not to "gouge" but also because I was in a hurry to get it listed and figured if I ate a couple of bucks, that was ok. ...also, that seemed to be a common shipping amount when I checked ebay at the time I was putting it up.

I just sold a box of 50 and charged $25 for shipping with insurance. Using a #7 Priority box from Arkansas to California, weighs in at 11 pounds, $18.50 shipping. My collectibles insurance covers the shipment (as long as it's not gold or platinum), so at least in the $20-30 range.

Thanks Tim.
Lalasd4....I would love to go with a flat rate but, like I stated early on, they don't fit these boxes. Just trying to figure other shipping methods of coin related (bulk mint) items for now and the future.
