Can you mail a bag via USPS?
A burlap sack, or cotton bag with the address tagged to it, or stamped on it? Does it then have to be put in a box (thereby increasing packaging costs)?
I cant find it on the USPS website.... ![]() thanks in advance.

looks like yes to me, but I don't believe you are saving money by not boxing it as you may incure an additional charge for the "unusual" shape of the bag or some sort of special handling for it.
double check that though I could be wrong |

Is this a way to dispose of the hooker? By sending her to the dead letter office?
Couldn't resist.

Whatever you do, don't draw a big dollar sign on the bag.

Just a word of warning, I think that mailing one bag will be ok, but if you start to mass mail burlap bags, your local post office will come to hate you in very short order.
These won't be able to be auto sorted by the machines, which means they will have to hand process each and every one.

this may be an variable we have to try out before opening up shipping options to our buyers to UPS/DHL/Fedex. I want to avoid that and the inherent cost that goes along with it. I was hoping to be able to give free shipping but that may be too much cost.

I know and see your point, just don't be naive enough to believe that the USPS employee won't start referring to you as the "dumb idiot with the freaking burlap bags that we have to manually sort"... ![]() As you say, maybe the trade off won't be so bad... FM

Not to sound like a smartass, but couldn't you call the Post Office and find out the details, giving them the dimensions of the bag full of skulls you want to ship?

I was thinking it was going to be sack of shit. You have a potential market in politicians, lawyers and SEC coaches.
