USPS Discontinuing A & B PRIORITY BOX

Effective January 22, 2023 (and subject to approval by the Postal Regulatory Commission), Priority Mail Regional Rate Boxes A and B will be discontinued, and the current pricing for these boxes will no longer be applicable. Customers with Priority Mail Regional Rate Boxes A and B in their inventory can still use them for shipping, but they will be processed as weight and rate packages.

Well, I guess my cardboard recycler will be getting my Region A & B boxes.

No. Use them as regular priority mail boxes. Some of those sizes are better than the regular priority mail box. I love the one that is the size of a kid's shoe box.

The discontinuing of the Regional rates was announced in October, and there have been several discussions since then regarding whether the Regional boxes will then be used at regular Priority rates (as the Regional C boxes were, after they were discontinued) which of course is the logical approach. It would be great to have a link to the official word about this.

On the C boxes the local p.o. had me black out the C rate line.
