(...) Well, an unopened 950 pc box (1857) weighes just an ounce or so short of 3 pounds. But it really depends on what bricks you're talking about. 600 2x6's will weigh more than 600 1x1's. I'd say up to three pounds would be a safe bet. That 950 pc (...) (24 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.shipping)

Anything that fits in the envelope, regardless of weight, is $3.95. That's why they don't say over 1lb. (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.shipping)
