Garters are an $8 flat fee:
All other items are factored with the weight of the package based on the item and box combined.
Most shawls, dresses and blouses and their packaging will weigh
slightly over 1 pound, but the postal service will charge the 2 pounds
fee.
Headpieces,
jewelry and small items, such as small beaded bags will weigh under 2
pounds.
Handbags, such as pocketbooks will vary, weighing
3 to
4
pounds.
Wedding Gowns may weigh up to
8 to 10 pounds.
According to the Postal Service, even if your item is
one ounce over the pound, the higher pound fee is charged. (Sorry!)
