SWIM also knows that there is always a better way.

Most post offices these days have Automated Postal Centers, if you don't want to deal with the employees. They can be used 24 hours-a-day, it's usually stuck in the corner, and completely empty, while the line to the counter continues to move at a glacial pace. Go figure.
How to Use the USPS Automated Postal Center (APC)
Krunch is spot on but I would add to use a bit of "activated charcoal" between bag #1 and #2 for odor control, also wipe everything with alcohol REPEATEDLY, wear gloves.......SWIM been using those boxes for years....SWIM absolutely LOVES the USPS, please god keep our postal service running!

The activated charcoal will only have effect if the odor-air is forced through the pores. Vac sealing is probably the biggest key.
Thanks everyone for the input. (FWIW, searching usps in this forum results in no leads prior to like 09... so this is something that people may find very useful)
Well SWIM been using activated charcoal for years and will continue, I was told by a friend at USPS that dogs were getting trained to "hit" on coffee, soap, laundry softner sheets....so SWIM switched....good luck.

automated postal centers are not, do not sell prepaid boxes.
you have flat rate boxes at the USPS postal centers yes but, you still have to buy the postage.
I have an online biz been doing this shit for quite a number of years.
just vac seal, layer some dryer sheets around the first vac bag, then vac seal that. if you still feel unsecure, add some coffee beans to the box, voila you are sending a gift to someone.
no reason to freak, be tweaked out sweaty scared.
Postal employees deal with food packages everyday
my wife has a deal selling a treats package that goes out once a month
never a problem, and once in awhile nugs go out in the mail.
why be nervous?
I don't understand this freak out scared mentality, just don't go in smelling like you just puffed, and stay out of your grow before going in to the PO.
my wife tells me I smell like nugs all the time when I come home from the grow op.
walking next to through the plants the scent imbues your clothes.
just be safe, and not a sketchy bevis butthead type

Sorry, but this is wrong. USPS does offer pre-paid flat-rate Priority Mail boxes. I bought three recently--but the problem is, USPS pre-prints the buyer's name and address on the boxes. So, that's a no-go.
I do love me some flat-rate postal products, though. The Priority Mail bubble mailers are great--$5.30, regardless of weight or zone. The medium-sized flat-rate boxes are great, too. They can accommodate several glass jars (wrapped carefully to protect against breakage).

Would a smell proof (bear proof) bag help? If you hot seal them, do they still work?

what the hell is swim?
Someone Who Isn't Me
Swim was originally created at a "famous" clandesdine chemistry site and has a extremely negative reaction whenever LEO sees it, its like saying I'm hiding shit. Talk normal and blend in with your hypothetical questions.
Using swim was originally intended to keep you annynomus but it is pointless, using a secure computer, a user name you don't have known to you in real life (no real names), and using proxy's are the only real ways to stay under the radar.
If your lucky like me your legal locally so there is no reason to "hide".

Umm...
SWIM bought some of these https://www.usps.com/ship/priority-mail-flat.htm before and was able to put things in them and then just drop in a public mailbox. The boxes are for sure real (and cheap).

Yikes. I've known too many cats over the years who've been popped federal for interstate...I wish you luck my friend. No hating over here, just crossed fingers for a brutha in the game 
SWIM has 10 Large "Flat-rate" boxes sitting next to SWIM...NONE have SWIM's address pre-addressed on them and SWIM uses a fake return address (Of and old asshat of a boss LOL) on the label the post office gave me.
SWIM has NEVER had any personal information on any package that "hypothetically" left the state.
