I would probably use different size flat rate boxes next time around.

It's harder to make every box seem fair for the price when $11 of the $25 is going towards shipping and fees. If you do several smaller boxes and charge the same price for all of them you can put some nicer items in them.

While not everyone was ecstatic with what they got in my mystery box deal I did spend a great deal of time and effort trying to even the boxes out in such a way that nobody was left feeling cheated. It's hard to make big winners that way.

Anyway, be sure to use a lot of bubble wrap if you decide to use USPS flat rate priority since they certainly aren't treating packages as well as they used to.

I have an idea: You have all of the boxes except for one be even. The one that isn't even will have the highest value. The person that gets that box will be the big winner and everyone else will get their money's worth.

Books, probably not. (Maybe if they're gaming related.) DVDs, I would guess so.
