different sized priority mail box cost

[elizfri85]

I have several different sized priority mail boxes, but cannot seem to find a chart showing the cost for the "one weight, one rate" option. For example, how much would it be for 11 x 8.75 game board box?

You'll find more information than you'll need at usps.com. Remember that you'll see Retail rates. Good luck.

A Priority Mail game box is priced by weight and distance.   You are thinking of flat rate boxes which do have one rate regardless of weight or distance.   Flat rate boxes are always marked as flat rate and can be either large, small or medium.

USPS offers at least 20 different free boxes that can be used specifically for Priority Mail.  There are 5 flat-rate boxes, 4 "Regional" rate boxes. The rest of the free Priority Mail boxes, and any box that you provide, ship according to weight and distance. If the box volume is over 1 cubic foot then it ships according to the "dimensional weight" rather than the actual scale weight.

The flat rate and Regional rate boxes clearly state "Flat Rate" or "Regional" right on the box. If your box doesn't say that, then it will ship by weight and distance (Zone).

Thank you! That explains a lot!

Actually it's priced as a large flat rate box.

But the dimensions of the large flat rate box that is known as the "board game" box  (approx 24 x 12 x 3 inches) are very different from the dimensions that were specified in the OP (11 x 8.75), so I inferred that they were using the term "game box"  for some box that wasn't the Large FRB.
