No pictures yet, but the USPS has announced it will add an option for a larger flat-rate box:

I'm sure I'll pick some up ... there's always larger games and/or big lots of stuff that just won't fit in the current box. But, man, $12.95? ... yikes.

One thing I'll be interested in: how many gaming magazines could rest inside one of these bad boys, safely and securely? This could be a nice option for shipping those Dragons. Thirteen bucks for a sturdy box, speedy 2- to 3-day delivery, and free delivery confirmation might be something that would appeal to the average buyer.

When the magazine total gets too much for the flat rate envelope, I typically move it to the flat rate box.  The one now costs 8.95, and you can fit close to a dozen inside (give or take a few).  Great Deal!
