Question.
How do you go about shipping books in large quantities? Never done this before, I'm sending a huge collection to one of my friends back east, and currently, the shipping would be almost $120 by weight, or $80 by flat rate USPS
Are there specific book boxes you can buy? How does one normally transport books?

anyone?
You're shipping your friend quite a few books!
I don't know of any workarounds. Also - no one here reads.

What box is big enough, or supportive enough to hold 52 3lb+ books?

That looks even more expensive.
Could you ship it in multiple packages?

Shit son, that's gonna cost a fortune. With weight like that just go for a wooden crate or something

Have you looked into uship.com? It's just something I came across.

USPS media mail might work. Basically you can pack the books however you want, but request media mail. You won't get tracking and it may take 2-3 weeks, but it usually costs less than half what priority costs.
look into freight shipping

what books are those?
depends on the distance and the gas mileage of your car, but it might be cheaper to just drive them over there yourself. gas is cheap now, eh?
