The Postal Service has filed an experimental mail classification case
(Docket No. MC2004-2) with the Postal Rate Commission ("PRC") to establish
a flat-rate Priority Mail box. The PRC issued its initial order in this
case, setting June 24, 2004, as the deadline to file notices of intervention.

The proposed two-year experiment would have boxes of two different
dimensions, both having the same volume of 0.34 cubic feet. One is
14"X12"X3.5" and the other is 11.25"X8.75"X6". The rate requested by the
Postal Service for each of the flat-rate boxes is $7.70.

The Association of Priority Mail Users will intervene in this case, and can keep you posted about important
events in this case.

I sure hope they don't get rid of the Flat Rate envelope for Priority Mail. I always ship Priority Mail Flat Rate if the book fits in the envelope.

If that is true, start buying stock in UPS.
