Is there a way I can just charge all my customers a single price? This way I'm never overpaying for shipping if I have to ship an item coast to coast.

These packages fall under the shipping methods of Priority Mail Express and Priority Mail.

If your item fits in one of these boxes (or envelope), and meets the weight requirement (max 70 pounds) then you can use these boxes, and the price will be one flat rate for every zone. This makes it a lot easier figuring out how much to charge for shipping. The best part is they're FREE! Check out the Post Office's Store for FREE Supplies!
