There are a few caveats to using Regional boxes: 1) you have to order the Regional boxes online- you can't just pick up these boxes at your local USPS office and 2) you must print the label online.īefore we go any further, let me describe what kinds of regional boxes are available. The same package using Regional A box will cost $9.75 or so- just a few dollars savings, but it starts to add up. A package weighing 2 lbs going from NYC to California using the regular Priority Mail Medium flat-rate box will cost $12.35 or $11.30 (if prepared online). Priority Mail Regional boxes work slightly differently they're based on weight and how far something goes.Regular flat rate Priority boxes cost a flat fee no matter how much something weighs- USPS' "if it fits, it ships" slogan.They offer the same 2-day service of Priority Mail, but sometimes for less. I've discovered that sometimes it's less expensive to use USPS' relatively new Priority Mail Regional boxes. I'm creating this post in hopes that it might help someone else. UPDATE: - I've added a (silent) video below! :) Thanks to all who read and commented on this post! Seems that regional boxes are an option again! Following the steps below for the calculator should give you the cost of regional boxes again.
