Selling and Shipping 3cc Edible LC's and Spore Syringes in Regular Envelopes via USPS. Possible?

Hey there guys,
The title basically says it all. I am interested in perhaps acquiring a box of 3 ml syringes, and using them to ultimately sell some edible LC's over eBay, craigs, or wherever with the intent of spreading the love of my hobby of mycology around a bit. This isnt a serious business proposal, but I figured it'd be a fun thing to do with my spare time. Id probably do trades and that sort of thing too.
Anyhow, enough about the back story. I want to know if anyone knows if it is possible to mail via USPS First Class Mail in regular envelopes 3 ml syringes. According to the site, you can send letters with rigid objects for 65 cents, but they dont offer much information about what "rigid object" means. They say max height for a "letter" is 1/4 inch. They dont specify max height for a "letter with rigid object" (a separate option) however, unless they assume us to expect it is the same, 1/4th of an inch.
My main attraction to the idea is that shipping would be dirt cheap, just 65c, but if it wont work, what cheap methods of shipping are you aware about for getting syringes (of various sizes) around? I chose 3 cc because its just enough to get a single 1/2 pint jar started or scale up by shooting into a larger LC, PLUS 3 cc syringes are very low profile. Id consider 1cc syringes also if they will definitely ship.
Now, I know you can ship syringes in boxes, priority bubble envelopes, et cetera, but the shipping costs are substantially higher.
What do you guys think about this?

Bubble mailers work the best... First class is an option w/ them... It comes to ~1.60 something w/ a DCN.

shipping and handeling is wher eyou make your "extra money" when selling stuff online, if you pay more than 5$ to have just about anything shipped your getting ripped off( unless its super big or heavy). Total has given the smartedt option available to you for shipping, you can still charge people an even 5.00% for shipping&handling, imo its smarter to abosrd the cost and offer free shipping, free shipping always gets people

Yea if your asking about using regular white envelopes, i wouldnt reccomend it. It may work but theyll be over weight for that type of envelope and youll need to use more stamps according to weight to mail them. Use what total said
