I still wouldn't trust it - I'm not sure why, but sending something important out of an apartment complex mailbox in this weather doesn't seem wise, especially given the rinky dink operation that is this complex. Plus, I'd have to walk through said snow to get to the mailboxes, which is only slightly more appealing. My big issue is that if it wasn't the post office, it would be something else and I'd be digging my car out tomorrow. Plus, it was nice to force myself to drive in the skerry snow.. I guess.
But, yes, I do use the flat rate envelope, since it fits most books, gets there in 2-4 days and the price is right on it. It's actually the same amount of time that the "expedited" option is, and that's what the person chose, so I sent it the way I would have sent it, anyway. ;) Sneaky, sneaky! Profits!
