I have never ordered anything from the USPS ebay store until recently when I ordered a press sheet, which I received flat without requesting it. Do they ship flat by default? If so, it is really good news, given all the damage problems with press sheets shipped rolled from the USPS fulfillment center (the center frequently would ship rolled even when specifically requested to ship flat).

Can anyone confirm that it is in fact the default practice of the USPS ebay store to ship press sheets flat?

Would shipping costs not come close to the sheet value? It would here in Canada.

I'm not sure what they charge to ship to Canada, but in the US it's only $1.25 for orders under $50, and only $1.75 for orders over $50. Very cheap.

I ordered two more press sheets from the USPS ebay store just to test their shipping policy. Unfortunately, both came rolled rather than flat, so my earlier experience was simply an aberration.

Given this, I don't think it would be cost effective to order from the ebay store, as it doesn't allow combined shipping on multiple items.

I think I am done with the ebay store for good.
