Go in to your local PO and in the lobby they should have a selection of flat rate priority envelopes. They should also have sticky address labels. Fill out the “to” and “from” on the label and stick it to the envelope. Take it to the counter and they will type in the info, weigh it and give you the price to pay.
EP14B. I notice that a small 10"x6" Priority Flat Rate envelope that I personally have, specifically the EP14B, weighs around 21.5 grams on my scale [1], or about 0.75 oz. So it would fit within First-Class weight, and the physical dimensions fit within what USPS classifies as a normal letter. In terms of turning it inside out for First-Class ...
The postal regulations do allow it. It should be fine. One of my favorite configurations is a 9x6x3 box stuffed tightly into one of the flat rate padded envelopes. amazing what you can fit in there. I have had a flate rate envelope (not padded) rejected at the counter because I taped the corners down.
No they are not flat rate. It may or may not work. Those envelopes go by weight. So it will be either over paid or under paid. If it’s under paid, it will either be returned to you or postage due to the recipient. It will say the work FLAT on it if it is a flat rate. If you use the Tyvek envelopes, you will just use an Express by weight label ...
Get some poly mailers ( uPaknShip is very cheap for poly mailers) and use PirateShip because sometimes the cubic rate (based on the dimensions of the package) is cheaper than even a flat rate envelope. Plus, if your packages are under 13 oz you can use First Class mail which is much cheaper, especially if you're only shipping to nearby areas. 1.
If you're shipping further away, like states away, flate rate is the way to go. You can also order priority envelopes and boxes online at usps.com. No, if you use a flat rate postage, you need the USPS-provided envelope. If you are using your own envelope, then weigh it and apply the correct postage.
Total weight will be no more than 2 lbs. Would it be cheaper to use my own padded envelope or to use a flat rate padded envelope? Depends on destination zip in relation to yours. 2. Am I able to reuse a padded envelope, like an Amazon prime envelope, and cover/remove any old barcodes, replace the shipping label and re-seal it? Yes. 3.
The boxes say priority on the inside also. The flat rate boxes need to have the postage required for that size of box. A flat rate, large size box costs close to $22 to ship, but you can send up to 70 pounds in it. They are free on USPS,com. So are non flat rate priority boxes. I guess I don’t understand why you don’t just use a different box.
I only use flat rate envelopes and I'm certain that the label was correct. Example of the message I received is copied below: Underpaid adjustment: $4.07 (Charged) Reason: Service printed on label didn't match service used. Original. USPS - USPS Priority Mail Legal Flat Rate Envelope. Original weight: 2 lb 0 oz.
Honestly, I'd recommend a label 400 (tracking label), a priority mail postage stamp (you can buy at your local post office) and a flat rate priority mail envelope; much easier, can be picked up today, and just hand address the from (your address) and the destination (your address.) 3.
