How much does mailing a box cost

The cost of mailing a box depends on several factors, including:

1. Weight: The heavier the box, the more it costs to mail.
2. Size: Larger boxes cost more to mail than smaller ones.
3. Distance: The farther the box needs to travel, the more it costs.
4. Service: The type of mail service you choose affects the cost. For example, Priority Mail is generally faster and more expensive than First Class Mail.
5. Package type: Specialized packages, such as those requiring extra insurance or handling, may cost more.
