Message	I've been shipping a bunch of stuff lately, all with the flatrate boxes, and some times it's awesome (ship a heavy-ass iron turbo manifold for $13? Perfect!), but some times it's a tiny bit cheaper to ship regular Priority if it's something light (would have saved myself $0.53 if I used Priority instead of the flatrate box). So yes, I am being sarcastic about being "careful" with flatrate boxes. But you knew that. Just know they're usually cheaper for the heavy stuff - lighter boxes will probably be more "expensive."
