USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate
What is Priority Mail Flat Rate®?
Priority Mail Flat Rate is a 1 to 3 day shipping service provided by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) that features one flat rate for delivery of a package or envelope to its destination. The service allows a maximum weight of up to 70 lbs. for each envelope or package. Priority Mail Flat Rate® includes free shipping supplies available at the Post Office or sent directly to your residence or business for no charge. Packaging options include three types of envelopes and six boxes in various sizes.
Flat rate pricing eliminates the need to weigh packages or calculate shipping fees, as long as the package weighs less than 70 lbs. Each Priority Mail Flat Rate® Box and Envelope features one low flat rate, so pricing is determined by the box or envelope you choose and not by the weight or distance the package is traveling.
How to Send Packages with Priority Mail Flat Rate®
Shipping a package or envelope using Priority Mail Flat Rate® is very easy. Place your item in one of the many free Flat Rate boxes supplied by the USPS. As long as your item is not heavier than 70 lbs., you will not need to weigh the item.
Postage may be purchased either at the Post Office or online through an online postage provider. Once your package is ready to be shipped, you can schedule a free package pick-up from the USPS at your home or office.
