USPS New FLAT RATE Box == $7.70 ( OT ??)

[The37Kid]

As a seller on eBay I owe it to the buyer to ship the item as safely and cheaply as I can. The post office just came out with a Flat Rate BOX 14x12x3 1/2. I think you could ship a clutch, or a set of rods or four bricks coast to coast for less than FedEx Ground now. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Wife says "anything you can stuff in the box, no weight limit. Anywhere in the lower 48....$7.70. (She has been with USPS 28 years)............OLDBEET

Idiot time - Does that include the price of the box? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

This is probably relevant too the way parts seem to fly around this place. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

That Sucks! I live in Alaska, When will these folks realize Alaska and Hawaii are part of the US I have had arguments with sellers on Ebay on shipping where they state in their auction free shipping in the United States.


Stepping off my soap Box...

They also have this box

11" x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2"

Very good for parts!

Boones, be sure to check the air rate. Sometimes its cheaper than ground(econo.)!

[Flat Ernie]

That's great news! As overseas military, I get same postage rates as mailing to New York, so these flat-rate boxes always help out!

Don't ever ship overseas military (APO) parcel post - it takes 6+ weeks to arrive!

USPS is definitely cheaper than FedEX or UPS for small stuff!

I just had 50 frickin' boxes (25 of each size) shipped to my house FOR FREE!!!, Even if you don't ship anything, 25 boxes all the same size stack nice.

Finding a box the roght size is half the battle with ebay stuff.
