You can schedule a carrier pick up on the website.

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!

That's what I do. Easier all around (and by the time you buy an envelope, you're usually already over the difference in cost).
