  1. This Vendor maximized shipping cost savings to me, the customer. Mailed FC/Pstg one Soft-sided textile- material military using a 6-3/4-24lb. White Wove Reg. envelope. 1-ea. First Class Postage Stamp. The order arrived in perfect condition in 3-days from San Antonio, TX to Jamison, PA 18929. This is the kind of Vendor I want to continuously do business with when the occasion arises. VERY CONSUMER CARING !! Not like some E'Bay Vendors who try to make a "PROFIT CENTER" fom shipping & packaging.
