From my experience sending packages for e-bay. The smaller and lighter the box the less you pay and US Postal Serv is less expensive than Fedx. Sometimes is saves you money by using the (If it fits it ships) free boxes from the post office but sometimes it doesn't. Be sure the follow the guidelines of the GE and add the signature and the insurance.

You need to consider the difference is the size of the box and if you can fit all of your items in the smaller box. It is only a few more $ for a few more inches of space. But make a big difference when packing your items. (Size and Weight Matters)
