[Dx-qsl] Flat Rate Envelopes

William:
I'm not with the USPS, but our local Post Office had a sheet of the new rates on
the counter. The clerk that waited on me said they did away with the 1 pound
rate that was 3ドル.50 and actually "lowered" the flat rate envelope by $.05 from
3ドル.90 to 3ドル.85. According to the USPS info sheet both the up to 1 pound rate
and flat rate are 3ドル.85 now.
Quoting from the USPS information sheet under Priority Mail
"Up to 1 pound and Flat Rate Envelope 3ドル.85.
Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope
"3ドル.85, regardless of weight or destination, for matter sent in a Priority Mail
Flat Rate envelope
provided by the Postal Service"
Over 1 pound, up to 70 pounds see rate chart"
The two web pages below will give you all the information from the USPS' web
pages on Priority Mail.including their rate chart.
