<DIV>I'd use one of the Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes. The box itself is free at
the Post Office and you can ship it anywhere in the USA for $ 8.95</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Two sizes are available:</DIV>
<DIV>11 x 8.5 x 5.5 inches</DIV>
<DIV>13.625 x 11.875 x 3.375 inches</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The shape of the box may not be changed to fit its contents, so don't try
to cut it down or make it bigger.</DIV>

<DIV>A 5 gallon bucket is gross overkill for a bounce box. The purpose of a
bounce box is to provide access to items you might not be able to get in trail
towns; things like prescription refills, spare eye glasses, an odd-sized battery
or bulb, cell phone recharger, photo memory cards, etc. Be sure to include
tape and address labels for forwarding it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Above all, remember that to ship a bounce box to a location with no
outgoing mail service is to be stuck with it. Plan carefully.</DIV>
