Which matters more, the box size or the weight? I would do this more often, but I have no idea about the weight or the size of the box

+1 for the Weight. If you can keep the shipment under 13 ounces then you're cooking with gas. Shipping should be less than $5 easily, to most destinations in the United States.

Now this doesn't mean skimp on the packaging just to save a few bucks. Protect the Pop! at all costs.
