I also got some useful info this morning regarding the mailing. The flat rate for a box up to 70 lbs is $11.95 if it's going to a military address.

Keep in mind that the flat rate, is only if you use the FLAT RATE BOXES, I've actually found it cheaper just to send a regular box. It seems to be roughly $1 per pound, just an estimate, but I sent a huge box that weighed 15 pounds and it cost about $12 to send, same as the flat rate boxes, but I could fit a lot more. You can send anyway, I've certainly done both I just don't want anyone to feel ripped off! Thank you again for all your support!
