The USPS has flat rate shipping boxes you can get for free on their website. You can send up to 20 pounds for $9. Most of his packages take only a week which is really cool. He has a laptop so I sent his MP3 player and a webcam. I send him DVD to watch at work with the other guys. I also signed him up for all these so he gets some extra mail. :)
