The E-Sylum:  Volume 10, Number 39, September 30, 2007, Article 16

ON SHIPPING BOOKS VA THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE

David F. Fanning writes: "David Lange wrote in the last E-Sylum
that 'The USPS doesn't want anyone sending material that weighs
more than 13 ounces by first class or priority mail, because the
package may contain a bomb!'

"I don't know where he got this information, but it's not true.
I send heavy books on a regular basis via priority rate. In fact,
since the introduction of the flat rate priority boxes, I use
priority mailing much more often. You do have to bring heavier
packages to a person to have them processed, though--you can't
just put them in a mail box. That is for security reasons and
that rule has been in place for a few years now."
