USPS Flat Rate Boxes & Envelopes are just that - boxes and envelopes with flat postage rates, no matter how heavy the package is. If you're shipping heavy, small items, Flat Rate Boxes & Envelopes are the best bang-for-your-buck option. Take advantage of USPS flat rates by keeping a supply of these around your fulfillment operations. USPS provides these flat rate boxes and envelopes for free at most Post Offices or will ship them to you at the USPS Store. Using a USPS Flat Rate Box or Envelope can cut your shipping costs by 50%. This is a great way to prepare for peak shipping.
In addition to large Flat Rate Boxes, small Flat Rate Boxes and medium Flat Rate Boxes, prices are supported through the EasyPost API by using our predefined packages. So it's easy to set up internally and start collecting savings from your Flat Rate Boxes & Envelopes as soon as you integrate with EasyPost.
