Shipping is the same rate for media mail regardless of location. Rates are determined by how many pounds.

Priority mail is a factor of weight and zip code. Of course, you can use a flat rate envelope for $4.05 (same rate everywhere) or a flat rate box for $8.10 (same everywhere). By the way, you can easily fit any box set in a flat rate box or about 15-25 modules, or 4 hardcover books, etc.

If the lot is too big for a flat rate box, then use the ebay postage calculator which will create an accurate postage cost based on the buyers zip code and the sellers zip. (you need to input the weight - if you need to, estimate a few pounds on the high side - you can always send a refund for overpayment).  When you sell your item, choose the shipping option for "calculated" postage.

Damnit! New page ... this would have looked better tucked right under Breach's post. Oh, well.

Well, as long as we are on the subject . . . here is the criteria for Bound Printed Matter.  This is a little known way to ship with the USPS - it is weight and zip code based (but the rates are still fairly cheap).  Weight maxes out at 15 lbs, however, it CAN contain advertising.
