What Is USPS Flat Rate Shipping?

USPS Flat Rate shipping is a quick and cost-effective way to send packages within the U.S. The shipping cost is based on box size—not weight or destination. As long as the item fits in a Flat Rate box and weighs less than 70 lbs per box, it ships at a fixed rate.

Key Benefits:

• Fixed pricing – Cost is based on box size, not weight or distance
• Up to 70 lbs – Works well for heavy items
• Free packaging — Flat Rate boxes and envelopes ordered from USPS post offices are free
• Priority Mail included — Comes with tracking and insurance
