I've been thinking about your box that came back from Huston post office saying it wasn't packed properly...

Was the top bulging?

The main rule with flat rate priority boxes is that they have to close flat on top. You can't overstuff them.

Also I once had a fill in postal clerk gripe about my putting the destination on the side of the box, which we sometimes do to help them sort the packages in Kuwait.

Any clues here?

On 06/06/06 the following was sent to Stryker near TalAfar:

100 cold paks (27lbs worth - thank goodness for flat rate priority boxes)
40 Italian Ice pops
4 big bags of beef jerky
12pkgs of popcorn.


God bless the troops! Good riddance, Zarqawi!
