WASHINGTON, Feb. 14, 2008 Military families have long used the U.S. Postal Services flat-rate shipping boxes to send care packages around the globe. Beginning March 3, theyll get a price break.
The discount applies only to the new Priority Mail Large Flat-Rate Box, which normally carries a $12.95 price tag for shipping. However, when the 12-by-12-by-5.5-inch box is sent to an AFO or FPO address, a $2 discount applies, dropping the cost to $10.95. |

About time! I’m in the “Armed Forces shouldn’t have to pay period” camp myself, but $2 is $2!
Yea Post Office, USPS.
I always looked forward to seeing those flat rate boxes when I was in Afghanistan as did everyone else.
Thank you for your service AlaskaErik!
Too cool!! I didn’t know about the ASY logo!!
They don’t pay for mail coming back to us here in the States...I’ve gotten quite a bit of ‘Free Mail’ letters and cards from them lately.
This price break is good news.
