Ground Advantage and Priority Envelope

[keziak]

I am late to the game because I ship Media Mail unless I have a comic book or magazine. I was just researching prices and it looks like for under 1 lb the Ground Advantage costs as much as the Priority envelope?

For weights up to 15.999 ounces, the prices for Ground Advantage are the same as the prices for First Class packages were up until July 9 when Ground Advantage started.  Then at exactly 1 pound, there's a different price, and then there's a price for packages that are over 1 pound but not over 2 pounds.  

So what you need to do is specify your package weight in ounces rather than just choosing 1 pound.  But even if you pay that odd 1-pound rate, it's lower than the price of a flat-rate envelope except for the farthest Zones.

You can use eBay's shipping calculator to check the details:

I see it now, thank you for helping. I was on the USPS site and I must have been confused by what I was seeing.
