flat rate box

Fixed-cost shipping container

A flat rate box is a shipping container provided by postal services where the cost depends only on the box size, not the weight of its contents.

The U.S.

Postal Service popularized the concept: If it fits, it ships for one price.

Useful for sending heavy items that would otherwise cost more under standard weight-based pricing.
