The regional box A or B are no longer for the shipping label
now i order PRIORITY MAIL MAILING BOX the box is smaller
How do I set to print? For example, in the regional A boxes I put 3 pounds 10 x 7 x7 and I print it and everything is fine like this
How would it be in the PRIORITY MAIL MAILING BOX boxes, the same as in REGIONAL A?
thank you

USPS discontinued Regional rates on Sunday January 22.
The official USPS memo about discontinuing Regional rates says that we can now use those boxes at regular Priority Mail rates (based on weight and Zone). So just enter the actual package weight and dimensions. The dimensions of a box do not affect the postage cost if the package volume is under 1 cubic foot (1728 cubic inches), so precise measurements are not needed.

thanks for your answer
I was looking at priority-mail-express-box. The box is bigger, would that work?

Priority Mail Express will cause you sticker-shock when you see the price.
"How would it be in the PRIORITY MAIL MAILING BOX boxes"
Enter box dimensions and weight, select regular Priority Mail service when you buy the label.
Are you aware you can use any generic plain brown box when shipping Priority Mail?

I think if you use a Priority Mail Express Box you will be charged for Express Mail. The Express Mail Boxes are still valid.

But isn't express shipping more expensive?

Yes, it is. Priority Express is a different service. Don't use it.
You can use any plain box to ship via Priority Mail.

It is more expensive.
What is it that you are wanting to do?
Regional Rate Boxes, if you have any can still be used but the shipping will be based on Priority Mail Rates. All of the Priority Regional Rates have been discontinued.
There use to be a Regional Rate C (15" X 12" X 12") but that was done away several years ago. You can still use the boxes if you have any. The shipping cost will be based on the actual weight or Dimensional Weight of 13 Pounds, whichever is highest.

That was a great box for using as normal PM after discontinuance.
