Introducing the New Priority Mail Large Flat-Rate Box: More Room to Send Items Across the Country

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is excited to announce the introduction of a new Priority Mail Large Flat-Rate Box, designed to provide customers with even more room to send items across the country while maintaining the convenience and affordability of flat-rate shipping. The new box measures 12 inches by 12 inches by 5 1/2 inches (or nearly 800 cubic inches) and is available for ordering now.

One of the unique features of this new box is its co-branding with America Supports You, a Department of Defense program that connects citizens offering support to the military and their families. This partnership demonstrates USPS's commitment to supporting our troops and their loved ones.

The Priority Mail Large Flat-Rate Box is perfect for small businesses and consumers who need to send larger items, such as gifts or packages, across the country. With a flat rate of just $12.95, regardless of weight or delivery zone, customers can enjoy the best value in the marketplace. As Postmaster General John Potter states, 'Flat-rate shipping is the best value in the marketplace.'

The new box is 50% larger than the current flat-rate boxes, providing even more room for customers to send their items. This expanded size option complements USPS's existing line of successful flat-rate offerings, which were introduced in November 2004 and offer a single, predetermined rate regardless of weight or delivery zone.

To order the new Priority Mail Large Flat-Rate Box, customers can visit 'supplies' or call 1-800 to begin shipping their items across the country with ease. With three different size and shape options available, customers can choose the best option for their shipping needs.
