Understanding your Priority Mail® Options
If you ship lots of packages and envelopes, need delivery in 2-3 days and want free pick-up at your door, then you should consider using Priority Mail from the U.S. Postal Service®.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS®) offers 3 service categories for Priority Mail: Zone-based, Flat Rate™, and Regional Rate™. Because pricing for each of these categories is calculated differently, understanding the differences and knowing when to use them can help save your business a significant amount of money.
