prepaid priority mailing boxes?

I have gotten a few of my past ebay purchases in a prepaid priority mailing box. any idea what these cost? I would never dispute their shipping fees, it is a consideration for a product I am considering marketing online

Update:

you're right, it is called a flat rate box thanks!

    The priority mailing boxes are free. But they have a box that is maximum 8 dollars no matter what is in them.

    I have never heard of a prepaid box.

    Try visiting the USPS web site or talk with someone at the post office.

    Prepaid Mailing Boxes

  • 1 decade ago

    Hi Ann,

    I got some item from eBay by Flat Rate Box, it was by usps priority mail, the size is 11x9x5.5 inch, weight about 9 pound, I was charged $ 8.95 and $1.45 insurance, I think it is probably how much it was charged by post office, it appeared to be mailed from home, on the box the instruction says

    The priority Mail Flat Rate Box: One price regardless of weight... for delivery anywhere in the U.S.

    > Any amount of mailable material may be enclosed, as long as the box is not modified, and the contents fit inside.

    >This priority Mail Flat Rate Box offers mailing convenience. Other Priority Mail options may cost less.

    >This packaging is the property of the U.S. postal Service and is provided solely for use in sending Priority Mail,Misuse may be a violation of federal law.

    You can visit WWW.usps.com/picup, may have more information for payment and other instruction.

    I hope this will help somewhat for you!

    Good luck!

    Helen
