Use our instant rate calculator to find a USPS Priority Mail Express standard or flat rate plan that suits your needs. Unlike Flat Rate Shipping, regular or standard shipping calculates rates based on a package’s weight, size, destination, and service to determine your shipping prices. Flat Rate Shipping, as the name suggests, offer a fixed and flat rate for all shipments, irrespective of their size or weight. ![]() If you order online and print your own shipping the cost is $4.75, if you go into the post office it is $4.95.Shipping methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you use masking tape or office (scotch, magic, crystal, etc.) tape they will reject your package outright. If it were to contain a 3 3/8 x 9 1/8 x 6 1/8 block of lead, that would be 77lbs 4oz. Remember, if they think you have altered the envelope, they may refuse to accept it for the special flat rate. I strongly suggest using clear shipping tape (yes there is also brown shipping tape) so that your package still looks like a Flat Rate shipping envelope. Put your bound payload into the box and seal with the provided strip making sure to avoid wrinkles. I then stuff the bag into the jig and apply the shipping tape in such a way that the shape is maintained by the pressure from the tape and not the vacuum of the squeezed out air. It keeps the contents safer (especially the Tyvek) and dry. When shipping clothing, I prefer to stuff everything into a Tyvek or zipper seal bag. You can use the jig to estimate and shape your payload.
