Okay, I was in need of some clarification. It looks like I'm supposed to buy 50 bags, and mail them in two Priority Mail prepaid boxes? I was confused about popcorn boxes/bags/mailing boxes.

Yep.

You can buy two cartons of 24-28 bags of microwave popcorn from a discount grocer/warehouse (for a total of around 50 bags)and fit them into 2 flat rate priority boxes (5x8x11). There's a trick to it. Let me know if you need packing instructions.

Or you can buy 6 boxes of 8 bags and maybe one box of 5 bags from Wal*Mart or an inexpensive place (total of 48-53 bags) which you fit into 2 flat rate priority boxes.

Don't forget to get a wide roll of good quality clear sealing/packaging tape (Scotch or Duck), if you don't have one to seal up the boxes. The cheap, thin stuff is a nightmare to try to use.

Boxes and customs forms are free at the post office. Each box costs $7.70 to mail.

Happy Hunting!

Cheers!
Patty
