Default Shipping (4) 400 ct. boxes....How?

I'm fairly new to selling cards and shipping them out. If I needed to ship 4 400 count boxes (with 330 cards in each) what is the best way to do this and how much will it cost me? I'm trying to make a deal off of ebay and I'd like to give a fair price but I'm kinda clueless on the shipping. Any help is appreciated.

Pretty sure that will fit in a Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box, which is around $12 postage.

You can check out the measurements here and see if it will work: USPS Link

You can definitely fit 1,600 worth of cards into a Medium Flat Rate Box, but you may have to change your boxes to three 550 count boxes to make them fit.

The measurements are 8.5" x 7.75" x 6" if the boxes are stacked, which is 1/2" too tall.

or 8.5" x 15.5" x 3" if not stacked.

Or just pour them all in there with the little white boxes

You can fit three boxes side by side if you turn the center box. I am uncertain if the fourth 400 count box will fit on the top to allow you to close the box.

I think you should be able to fit 4- 400 count boxes in a medium flat rate.

I fit 5 400-count boxes in a medium flat rate square box without any trouble or stuffing.

The 5th box is turned sideways.

You can also fir 3 660-count boxes in a long medium flat rate box - 3 800-count boxes will also fit but you have to fold the flaps over the end.
