    Super helpful, I was trying to understand why I couldnt find the small flat rate square box, now it makes sense, because its under priority.

    Some boxes that you really need to order from USPS are the Regional Rate boxes. They come in 4 sizes; there are 2 different "Region A" boxes and 2 different "Region B" boxes. These do not show up as an option until after the buyer pays and you go to ship the item. The price of these packages go by distance rather than weight and they can save you lots of money on shipping, especially on items that ship within a few states from your location. I just found out about these boxes recently and now I can't be without them!

      Chihuahuaization Amelie don't know if you found your answer, but do a search on the USPS site for regional rate boxes, you can do a price comparison between the priority and the regional rate to see which is cheaper. You may even have better luck doing a Google search for the regional rates box rates. You can only order them on line and sometimes the post office workers aren't familiar with the pricing structure for these boxes.

    Selecting your packaging, shipping carrier, and service rate are like paying taxes. You have to calculate everything out many ways before you lock it in. So many ever-changing tricks to learn and forget.

    Hey I can save you even waaaaay more money!! Check out the regional rate boxes. Must order them on line. Box A ships at the 2lb rate even if you put 15lbs in it. Box B ships at the 4lb rate (up to 20lbs)!!!!! Ignore the word "regional". You can use these boxes to ship anywhere in the US.

Didn't cost a cent...gonna cost them to ship it to me though. Better them, than me. You can also get a roll of free fragile, and priority stickers.They screw us enough, surprised they don't charge shipping! Be safe man.

      The priority boxes are for priority shipping 1-3 days.
      The flat rate boxes ship priority shipping too.
      The plain priority boxes are just another way of telling the workers how the box is shipping

      Go ahead and check, today I stopped at two off shoot post offices (they are contract official post offices one is located in my bank and one next to a distribution post office) any way both had EVERY box , envelope and padded supplies and served freely. I took a few of each. And the great thing about those contract locations I experienced was they had boxes preformed on display with flat rates posted on them. Take a picture of the display so next time you have an item you can refer to the flat rate prices and know your items best method before listing. ; )

    • @TheSIeepyhouse
      @TheSIeepyhouse 7 лет назад +2

      If you're using the Priority flat rate box, regional rates don't apply. To get regional rates you must use a Priority Mail Regional Rate Box A,B or C. Ebay provides a regional rate chart on their shipping. When you post an item for sale on Ebay, then under US Shipping Select, Calculate: cost varies by buyer location, there is a regional chart to give you some idea how much shipping will be to various locations. When an item for sale with this option, Calculate: cost varies by buyer location, click the calculator icon next to the item posted and you will find the regional rate chart. You must use a Priority Mail Regional Rate Box to get regional rates from usps.

      I only use Priority Mail Regional Rate Boxes A,B,and C. Unless you are shipping something very heavy across the USA, I see no need for the Priority Mail Flat Rate. Remember, Priority Flat Rate ships with one rate around $13.00 for a medium box. Priority Mail Regional Rate calculates weight by location and this can save you dollars. There is no reason to pay a flat rate if you're shipping to a nearby location. I hope this helps.
