Frugal Old Fart!
Have had a couple of PM's about this, so I thought I'd post it in plain sight.
Whereas with Priority you can link to the login page and go zooming on from there, first class is a little more complicated, but significantly cheaper. Basically, you
1. Bring up the USPS home page
2. Click on "All products and services"
3. Scroll down to "First Class Mail" link
4. Follow the prompts from there.
Apparently there are more limitations as far as package size goes. You need to choose from a. letters/envelopes b. packages c. domestic vs. international (I think there are other options too, but you get the idea.)
It's more time-consuming as there are more choices/options you have to go thru, but for some shipments I'd say it makes sense. Oh, you can still request delivery confirmation, insurance, etc. as add-ons.
