It's probably a European Shoulder Bag

The $4.95 flat rate is a bargain....the box is free and it does save you money if you are smart!

Smart is a 99 cents mailer box or padded envelope and First Class. $3 total. The $$$$ add up if you're mailing alot. First class gets there just as fast as Priority despite what they might say!

Bingo!

I'd note though that it holds a med Skinz plug bag insert almost perfectly, and the hardware is gold plated so I don't have to worry about corrosion from seawater

The closest you get to seawater is when you're out on your deck. The gold plated hardware might be overkill. Why would you need an Aquaskinz bag inserts anyways? Don't you know they're for fishing?

I usually pack things in regular boxes and when they figure out the cost, it's often cheaper to ship them priority than parcel post if it's a box that isn't too big. I would say that priority is a better deal than parcel post in a lot of cases. That's not saying it's a good deal, though. The postal rates are still ridiculously high most of the time.
