I assume you are referring to the United States Postal Service (USPS) Flat Rate Shipping Service. If so, there are some choices ...
1) Express Mail. Flat Rate Envelope (12.5" x 9.5").
2) Priority Mail. Flat Rate Envelope (12.5" x 9.5"). Flat Rate Box (11" X 8.5" X 5.5"), or Flat Rate Box (11-7/8" x 3-3/8" x 13-5/8").
Delivery times: For Express Mail, USPS lists the shipping time as "Overnight to most areas". But, providing the zip-codes for the two locations, USPS shows a "Service Commitment" of 2 Days.
For Priority Mail, using the zip-codes for the two locations, USPS shows delivery time of 2 days. It is usually accurate within one day. Priority Mail delivery can take from 3 to 5 days, and in isolated cases it can take longer. There is no guaranteed delivery time for Priority Mail.
I used these zip-codes for delivery information: Origin ZIP Code: 50588 (STORM LAKE, IA), Destination ZIP Code: 35023 (BESSEMER, AL).
For more information, or for other origins/destinations, you can visit the USPS website at usps.com.
