I think Nick is comparing the price that he paid to ship packages to these destinations with the flat rate box necessary to do the same. What Nick is saying is that you may get a better deal with light packages like cigars using a normal box (like a c-bid box) than a flat rate. And the savings are even more if it is a shorter trip.

That makes sense, i understand what he was saying. I just got an image of him checking all the costs and weights while a line wrapping around the post office.
