You can also save a little bit of money by using the site versus going to the PO. But the best part is bypassing going up to the counter and just dropping the box into a mail receptacle.
Try pirate ship. All the perks you just mentioned, plus a touch cheaper.
For me I just use the endless Amazon/tenski boxes. Cheaper then flat rate in almost every circumstance. And you have the advantage of choosing your shipping method. Ground advantage is considerably cheaper. And a good choice for short trips.
