What is the cost of USPS non-flat rate priority envelopes and boxes?

USPS has bunch of priority flat and non-flat rate boxes and envelopes. The cost for shipping with flat rate materials is given, however, I never seen the cost of shipping items with the boxes and envelopes that just says priority mail and does not include the flat rate mark. Reason why I am asking is because those packages seem a bit larger and they are better fit for the items I ship every now and then. If it has to do with the weight what are the rates of shipping with different weight?

Also how does the regional mail shipping works and what are the cost that associated with regional priority mail materials from USPS?

How can I get the shipping label for each of these method of shipping? Can I do it online anywhere or do I have to go by post office?

thanks in advance.

    The Ready Post non-flat rate boxes are sold in packs of 3 or packs of 20

    For the 3 packs the price range is $5.37 to $9.57 depending on size or

    $33 to $58 for packs of 20.

    Postage is determined by the weight of package, the class of mail you are shipping, and the zone you are shipping to (US domestic mail is divided into 8 zones).

    If you have a postal scale at home you can order labels on-line, if not I suggest you take package to the Post Office for accurate weight and labeling.

    It depends on the size of the box that you are sending. In many cases sending a package locally in your state is cheaper to send by regular weighted post. Stop by the local office and they will be happy to tell you what your best option is.

    a flat rate package is a pay one price deal and you fit as much as you can in that package and send it for that price. in some cases the cost for the shipping by weight is much less.
