The USPS office near me is a piece of shit and they don't even have small flat rates boxes at the kiosk. They usually only have the basic boxes on hand, like the small $5 box, the medium, the strong Tyvek envelopes, and maybe a large flat rate box if you're lucky. Not all post offices will even have every type of flat rate box type. If you shred the monitor up into bits and pieces, then yes.īut really, the flat rate boxes are all of a fixed size and none of them will fit the dimensions of a monitor.

They want everyone to use Priority or Express! LAME! The official USPS website doesn't even give you the option to purchase shipping for First Class or Parcel (when I last checked in the past). Just highlight that URL and open the link in the article. (And yes, this is an article straight off the eBay forums) They look ALMOST the same as the Flat Rate envelopes (same color scheme, etc).įor those who don't know already, the the screenshot below is a place where you can purchase USPS/UPS shipping from eBay: Secret PayPal Shipping Labels & Stamps off-eBay Mailing

Its crazy how the USPS never rejected any of my my Tyvek packages that were shipped with the cheapest $5.75 flat rate "envelope" pre-paid online postage.Ī lot of USPS employees must not evnen realize that those Tyvek envelopes aren't even flat rate! After chiming in on this thread, I realized that I have indeed been paying $5.75 flat rate postage to ship with a non flat rate envelop all along.
