What are USPS Flat Rate Boxes?
USPS Flat Rate Boxes are just that — boxes with flat postage rates, no matter how heavy the package is. If you're shipping heavy, small items, Flat Rate Boxes can be one of the cheapest ways to ship, since the shipping cost remains the same regardless of the package weight or shipping distance. Keeping a supply of these boxes on hand for your fulfillment operations can cut your shipping costs by 50% annually.
USPS offers a variety of flat rate packaging options, including 6 sizes of envelopes and 4 types of boxes, to fit your unique shipping needs. All supplies are free of charge and can be picked up at your local Postal Office or mailed to you directly through USPS's website.
All Flat Rate packages are supported through the EasyPost Shipping API by using predefined packages, so it's easy to set up internally and start collecting savings from your Flat Rate Boxes as soon as you integrate with EasyPost.
