First Class mail is not the same as Priority Mail. Packges to be sent First Class must not weigh over 13 ounces, and there is no flat-rate box with First Class. Packages over 13 ounces can be sent via Priority Mail, which does includes flat-rate boxes, in addition to regular Priority Mail zone-rate shipping.

How long does standard flat rate shipping service take from ca to va?

Sounds like you have an eBay or other website transaction. There is no such thing as Standard Flat Rate shipping service. There is Priority Flat Rate. Other than that, we have First Class, Parcel Post, Media Mail, UPS or FedEx. Sellers on eBay and other websites use "Standard Flat Rate shipping service" because they need to find out the lowest cost to send something to you. You need to find out what method they used. If your purchase weighs less than 13 ounces it can be sent by First Class Mail. If it weighs more than that, it can go by Priority Mail. If it's very heavy they would use UPS or FedEx. First Class - 3 to 4 days Priority Mail - 2 to 3 days. Media Mail - 7 to 12 days. Parcel Post 7 to 10 days. UPS/FedEx - usually over 7 days.

How long does standard flat rate shipping service take from PA to Long Island NY?

If this was an eBay transaction it might take four or five days. Some sellers use "standard flat rate shipping service" instead of telling you it's coming First Class, Media Mail or Priority Mail. The only "real" flat rate shipping is by Priority Mail and it should take 2-3 days from PA to NY. When shopping online (non-Ebay) they ask that you allow up to a week. But, it usually takes just 1-3 days.

It depends, off of amazon, it can take up to a month or more. Off ebay, if it's parcel post about 2 weeks, flat rate shipping- about 10 days, and first class and priority- a week at the most..usually. Although this is average, it does depend where you live! Hope this helps! -Goldendoodle


Cost to send box?

USPS site has a postage calculator on homepage (below). It depends on service, package weight and dimensions and zone shipped to. first class in for 13 oz or less only you can use parcel post which is cheapest, but could take 10-12 days. Priority is as fast as first class since they travel together. Just keep box under 12" square. Anything over that is oversize and rates triple. Media mail is only for media like books etc . There are some flat rates for priority, but you have to use the their boxes.
