U.S. Postal Service Announces Shipping Prices for 2011
The simpler way to ship—with Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes from the U.S. Postal Service (USPS)—is set to extend its popularity with consumers and shippers in the new year when new prices take effect. Prices for Priority Mail, Express Mail and other Shipping Services will change Jan. 2.
A flurry of new flat-rate product innovations will be ushered in with the new year. Priority Mail Flat Rate innovations include a legal-size flat-rate envelope and a padded flat-rate envelope. The Priority Mail Legal Flat Rate Envelope (15x9.5") and Priority Mail Padded Flat Rate Envelope (12.5x9.5") are both priced at $4.95. All six types of Priority Mail Flat Rate envelopes will be priced the same as the regular Priority Mail Envelope (12.5x9.5") at $4.95, including the gift card flat rate envelope, window flat rate envelope and small flat rate envelope.
