Comment on Why 3 MIT Grads Want to Send You an Empty Boxparent

Thanks! Agreed about the porch but that only works for items of small value.

Another huge thing people don't realize is box size. In most cases you can save up to 50% off the shipping price if you can fit your item in the tightest box possible. There are only a few sizes USPS provides for free using priority mail.

We have about 20 different box sizes to take advantage of this.
