How do you ship boxes?

A co-worker had a ton of unopened (nothing that made my eyes pop) boxes that are worth selling on the 'bay. I've never shipped boxes, and just wanted to see how the fellas here have shipped boxes in the past? Do you stick with a flat rate box to keep things easy?

Go to the USPS site and order some regional rate A & B boxes. They are free and they will be delivered to your home is a few days. They are priority boxes are you will pay a little less in shipping fees by using them. A regional rate A box is big enough to ship one unopened box.

+1 to what James said, otherwise flat rate boxes will suffice. Almost all boxes will be heavy enough that you can't send them first-class, so Priority is the only way when mailing via USPS. And like he said, the regional rate boxes will get you the cheapest rates.
Order the various sizes of flat rate boxes as well. Flat rate boxes cost the same to ship no matter where in the U.S. they go. The cost to ship regional rate boxes vary based on the zone it's going to. Based on where it's going there will be some overlap in whether it's cheaper to use a regional box or a flat rate box.
Been a while since I've shipped/sold, so the regional boxes are new to me. Thanks for the input!!
What type of boxes did you come upon?
probably a full case of 1980 basketball vending
It's mostly junk- really. I scoured ebay for completed sales, and average price per box is $12-$16 before shipping
I think the best thing I saw was 2000 Bowman baseball. Really, nothing good. Apparently it was all in a guy's garage, and I had a thing for junk. Boxes full of 1989 Score baseball, etc....
