USPS Regional A Regional B and Flat Rate Boxes Explained for eBay Beginners

Delete this video--its no longer valid because USPS has done away with these rates.

You don't explain how the "magic box" turns things into 2 lbs or 4 lbs. If a Regional A box has something that weighs 5 lbs, HOW do you only pay for 2 lbs? Are you under reporting the actual weight?

Great video for a couple years ago...Now that they discontinued Regional Boxes

The most important not to use anybody else's address?or names You don't have to storage any boxes. Only when you need it. You call information. They let you know what you need exact if you buy anything from any company, keep the boxes they send their things and and use it. If you want to ship it back it's already have the address. Everything on it don't have to storage your house with boxes you don't need

anywhere to get these boxes; I use them as straight priority mails. knowing the insight of our government they probably burned them. But I would like to still get them as they were already printed. Any insight on that?

Complete Idiocy. You say you are a teacher?! Glad my kids never had you as a teacher for several reasons. First off, you are throwing out several boxes instead of being thorough about them all, each one is different and if you are trying to make a video that encompasses the question that has been asked of you about shipping then being thorough would be a good place to start. Second, is that you are doing this based on your opinion. Other sellers on eBay no doubt have their own personal opinions on needs and shipping carriers. As well having several shipping options that buyers can choose from is a really great selling feature. It gives the buyer the option to choose the carrier and all of the carriers will pick up items that are ready to be shipped from your house or wherever, so you don't have to drive for 30 minutes. Not very inclusive. So, you have a nearly 19-minute video that is nothing more than ' I can put this size item in this box and another size in another sized box, and I don't like these.
COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME! You should not be teaching anyone anything, you said you were not a good student, well guess what, You're Not a good teacher either.

Just watched this video & tried to order Region A & B boxes on USPS but couldn’t find them. Discovered USPS discontinued Region A & B boxes in January 2023. Guess USPS was losing money on shipping.☹️

Update info if you still have these boxes can use just ships as basic priority mail I love the sizes

do you use pirate shipping to offer free shipping, or how do you use it for shipping off ebay?

We need an updated version of this video, now that the Regional Rate Boxes have been discontinued. @Commonwealth Flipper

The only time I use one that you don’t often is the medium flat rate. It’s great for creating bigger lots on eBay and clearing out stock.

Hello, I watched the video and tried to follow the instructions. However, when I went to the USPS free shipping supplies website, I couldn't find the "Region A" and "Region B" boxes for free supplies. What would you recommend I do

When will the usps stop giving these boxes for free ? Most people who get these never ship anything with them. They use them for moving and storage.

Thanks for the info……now, how do you test a controller?

And...its gone.

They are now discontinued by the USPS.

I trying to ship a USPS Regional box A, but I was getting charged more then the medium flat rate box. The package was about 5 lbs, and they were charging me for the 5 and not the 2 lbs rate. It was going from CA to KS. Why?? Help

Regional Rate "A" and "B" are being eliminated this year, end of January (2023). You can still use the boxes, but will be charged regular Priority Mail prices based on weight and distance.

Well this didn’t age well…
RIP Regional A and B boxes

I have a heavy jean jacket that fits in the priority A box but i do not see that option when i select my shipping options ??

FYI regional rate priority boxes are going away. Use them while still available

As of 2023 Regional Rate boxes will be a a thing of the past.

What is pirate shipping? argh,,,

perfect explanation

I've found selling wii consoles and sending them in Regional A or B boxes is a big saver.

The only sum question is the one never asked.. that usealy the one gets ya

Can you send the regional boxes anywhere?

I the flat rate priority mail I use a lot 😊

So uh....how do you test a remote? :~)

Omg this has helped me very much, Thank you 😉

Thank you, Kevin. I started selling a few months ago and I was wondering what the region A and B boxes were.

Thank you. I’ve asked many a people about region a and b boxes and could never get a clear answer.
You answered it.
Thanks again

Can you use your own box instead of the flat rate boxes that's very similar

Thank you. I only do fbmp and the UPS rates are good

I just found this video, you explain this in a way I could understand. I was afraid of the A and B boxes. Now I will have to try them now.

so helpful thank you!!

You were correct! I mistakenly commented earlier that this just couldn’t be right….but you are right. I stand corrected. All apologies. Wish I had understood this earlier in time, and thanks for your video…guess they really are “magic boxes”👍

There’s a reason they’re called regional boxes, yeah? I’m pretty sure the system works on how far from the ship out location to the ship to area are. I’m gonna keep doing some research on this though to be sure of the rules.I believe you are taking advantage of the rules here, and not following them. I don’t care either way, but usps can catch up to it at times.

So….how do I test the remotes?

So you can add more than one option for your listing? Can u let us know how?

Thank you just ordered my boxes finally

Hi sir...i am from Pakistan someone asked me to send my product's sell sheet and pictures through USPS to America...tell me how can i do it ...what does it means ...Thank you

Which items would you suggest with USPS priority boxes vs pirate ship?

How do you know how much the flat rate shipping cost is for each item?

Are you a teacher? I wasn’t sure because you didn’t mention that you were. Totally kidding, awesome video.

I like if its newer as everything changes.

Hello Commonwealth Flipper, what is your best recommendations for cheaper shipping will selling dinnerwares?

Thank you!

Is this still applying in 2022 or new changes from USPS? Knowing the post office you know they're gonna get rid of this ''loophole''

I once shipped 4 iron sash weights that weighed 26lbs to Cali. Regular shipping was outrageous or course. However, I knew they'd fit in a medium flat rate. I packed them very well. When the buyer got the box, the weights were missing! She said it didn't appear the box had been opened, but there's was nothing in the box. USPS paid me of course because I could prove they were there when I dropped them off (26 lbs!). I guess somebody thought they were gold bars!
