The USPS 1096L box (<https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/priority-mail-box---1096l-P_O_1096L https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/prior...>) fits perfectly inside the USPS padded flat rate envelope (<https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/priority-mail-flat-rate-padded-envelope-P_EP14PE https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/prior...>). Great for giving an item slightly more protection.
- rawling 5y agoAre those actually free? They recoup the cost when you post it?
- TMWNN 5y agoYes, USPS offers a range of free Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express boxes and envelopes. You only pay postage when using them; sometimes flat rate (as in the box being discussed here), and other times by some combination of distance and dimensions/weight. Flat rate is particularly interesting because the single rate applies, as implied, regardless of weight or distance. I sell a product that is 3 lb and fits into the aforementioned padded flat rate envelope. This means that I can ship it to the farthest reaches of Alaska or Guam for the same $8.45 (USPS commercial rate) as to any other US address.
- rawling 5y agoCool, thankyou for the insight.
