Arrgg.. is this true USPS discontinued flat rate priority shipping?
All I can find on usps.com is flat rate envelopes!!!
Plus the rates have been raised for shipping. [

If they have stopped that service Gosh to bad.. I really liked the flat rate boxes. Guess once again corporate greed takes over.

I ship Flat Rate all of the time, but I have a small business which utilizes the Click N-Ship process. Seems I picked up several sizes of the Flat Rate boxes at the local Pahoa PO recently.
And, if you go to the USPS online shipping calculator, all Flat Rate sizes are showing up there. So, they are still utilizing these but rates did go up this past January by all carriers, not just USPS.
Here's the link to the postage calculator:

It has not been discontinued. Picked up several of the large flat rate boxes just the other day at the post office.

Just stop at the post office. They are in the hallway by the post office boxes.

There is a better selection of boxes/envelopes online. They're free, and ship free. I like the flat-rate padded envelopes, which the MV PO never has.
