\u2022 Avoid the myths about Priority Mail<\/strong> \u2014 The guide helps to identify facts about Priority Mail. For example, many shippers think Priority Mail Flat Rate is always the cheapest option based on TV commercials featuring the tagline \u201cIf it fits, it ships.\u201d Using the chart will show that regular Priority Mail or Regional Rates are often much cheaper options.<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Find low-cost Priority Mail Regional Rates for nationwide shipping<\/strong> \u2014 Many shippers think that Regional Rate boxes are only for local shipments in the same region because \u201cRegional\u201d appears in the name. Using the guide will show that Regional Rate boxes are cost-effective for nationwide shipments as well as local shipments.<\/p>\n\n

\u2022 Find the best Priority Mail Flat Rate for heavy packages<\/strong> \u2014 If you are shipping heavy packages, there is no cheaper option than Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes. Using the guide demonstrates this as well.<\/p>\n\n
