If you have USPS Priority Mail Commercial Rates, that maximum for First Class Package Service is increased to 15.999 ounces. You can always request for items that weigh less than 13 ounces to be sent at the Priority Mail service price if you want to add on a Priority Mail extra service, but the cost could be nearly double.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"flat-rate-envelope-pricing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flat Rate Envelope Pricing<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If an item is packaged in a flat rate envelope or box, the sender pays a set price independent of the item&#8217;s weight or destination, up to 70 pounds. For convenience&#8217;s sake, USPS allows all Priority Mail envelopes smaller than the 12.5\u201d x 9.5\u201d Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope to be mailed at the flat rate envelope\u2019s price (even if the envelope isn\u2019t technically a flat rate envelope).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your items fit into Flat Rate Envelopes or Flat Rate Small Boxes, using these free priority mailers will always be more affordable than USPS Regional Rate boxes, regardless of weight and zone.
