Lol I saw that too. But you dont know about the box. I'll ask on E because I think I remember Goudinov I think posting it.

is there a GOOD reason why you ask?

Virus · Apr 6, 2008

Yes, I will be shipping some cards soon and I need to know if flat rate or by weight is cheaper for my exact needs

One deck of Red Bicycles are 93 grams. I just weighed it on my space age scale. One deck of Guardians is 103 grams

Couldn't you just weigh them yourself?

Normal scales arent sensitive enough

Thanks michell!

Ah yeah, true. Plus, that'd look a bit odd.

Hi Virus
If you are shipping using the US Postal Service I can help you.

I can fit 14 decks into a flat-rate envelope. They always weigh less than the 4lb limit.

The flat rate boxes hold 60 and 90 for each the small flat rate box and large flat rate box.

These will work for both Priority flat rate and Express mail flat rate.

Priority domestic is like $5 and international is $11

Express is $16.50 domestic and $27 international I think.

ALWAYS use the flat rate packages. You will run out of room for more decks before you reach the weight limit.

Unless you are selling lead cards of course

You can purchase a postal scale from your local post office. The one I have even hooks to my PC so I can print my own postage online.

Just for future reference. If you need a scale, I purchased a nutrition scale to weigh food.

I got mine here.

I weighed a full unopened deck of red bicycles and it was 102 grams (which is exactly one Newton).
My Physics class found this fascinating .
Coincidence, I think not!
