Price Hike for Flat Rate Boxes & Envelopes. New Small Box only $4.95 to all domestic destinations.
AuctionInc Update: USPS Price Hikes & Support Added for new Small Box
All the pricing for the USPS flat rate boxes, which we maintain locally, has been updated as of Friday, Jan. 16. Officially the price hike for both their calculated services and their flat rate boxes will occur this Sunday, Jan. 18. (AuctionInc will display the updated calculated rates in real-time on Sunday.)
Along with its rate increase, the USPS is introducing a new, smaller Priority Mail flat-rate box. The new box is priced the same as the flat-rate envelope-- only $4.95-- and provides a great option for customers sending smaller items that require sturdy packaging and the convenience of flat rate pricing
