[pct-l] Bearvault as bounce box

[Jackie McDonnell]

A BearVault as a bounce box would cost a fortune in postage.  Anything that
is not the typical square/rectangle will cost more, because it cannot be
processed by the USPS machines.  An actual person has to handle it.

A regional rate box is cheapest.
