USPS Introduces Priority Mail Flat-Rate Boxes (Starting Nov. 20)

USPS Introduces Priority Mail Flat-Rate Boxes

The U.S. Postal Service will soon provide customers with more shipping options just in time for the holiday mailing season. Using Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes, customers will be able to mail packages — regardless of the parcels' weight or destination — for just $7.70 each.

The Governors of the Postal Service approved this new Priority Mail option as a two-year test, and it will be available Nov. 20, 2004 at most Post Offices and online at USPS.com. The new boxes don't have to be weighed, and there are no zone chart and rate calculations required.

Customers can get the value of Priority Mail in two convenient shapes at one consistent price. “Services that are easy to access and simple to use provide real value for our customers,” said Stephen M. Kearney, Vice President of Pricing and Classification for the U.S. Postal Service.

“We look forward to testing the convenience of flat-rate pricing for Priority Mail packages, especially among small businesses and consumers.”

The Priority Mail Flat-Rate boxes are available in two shapes: 11-7/8 inches x 3-3/8 inches x 13-5/8 inches (ideal for garments, board games, books and other relatively thin items) and 11 inches x 8-1/2 inches x 5-1/2 inches.

Kearney said knowing the $7.70 price in advance should help customers ship packages quickly and easily, making the boxes very convenient for the upcoming holiday season.

He noted that paying the flat-rate Priority Mail box postage also is simple and convenient. The price is $7.70 regardless of the weight or destination. For the ultimate convenience, customers can use Click-N-Ship, offered online though USPS.com, to print a shipping label and pay the $7.70 postage, and use Carrier Pickup online notification to let their Post Office know they have a package to be collected when their letter carrier delivers their mail the following day.

Customers can also affix two $3.85 Jefferson Memorial stamps, use a postage meter indicia or any combination of U.S. postage stamps.

While the article was great, I really must disagree with your claim that the Celts were the greatest warriors in ancient Europe. I can think of at least several Legions of Roman Infantry, including the Second, Tenth and Fourteenth (to name three) who would disagree with,and disprove that statement. From the time of Brennus until the disappearance of the Ninth Hispania, I can't think of a single instance (excepting service with Hannibal) where Celtic troops defeated a major Roman military formation in open battle.

Move update:

Navy's packing up our stuff and moving it out Nov 30th/Dec 1st. We got housing in NAS Brunswick's Topsham Annex housing, it's about 5 miles from the base. Commissary is practically walking distance from the housing complex.

Anyone here on the Canteen that can give us advice on cell service there (note we have crappy credit) would be greatly appreciated, as we'll have to dump Sprint (no service) and from the looks of it, Alltel too (no stores in ME).

Kids are doing fine, busy as ever. They're ready for Christmas, having pored through the pages of the Toys R Us big book so many times it's practically ripped to shreds.

That's all for now, I'm off to get a few hrs shuteye and continue the cleanup prior to Thursday's prelim move out inspection with a housing manager I can't stand (gah) wish me luck!

"I can't think of a single instance (excepting service with Hannibal) where Celtic troops defeated a major Roman military formation in open battle."

Battle of Gergovia

 

http://www.unrv.com/fall-republic/battle-of-gergovia.php

The Romans did not win every battle against the Celts. Ultimately they conquered Gaul and more, but not without paying a price.

Are you just being contentious? For some reason the Tuesday Canteen threads seem to bring out persons who hold a peculiar animosity. I find that curious.

Thanks for the welcome.

Tomkow, I would not like a Burka. I don't really understand the reference. Temujin, the Chingis Khan, was a Tengrist (the traditional Shamanist religion of the step, that was influenced by Manicheanism and Zoroastrianism after the 4th century.)
However, a good composite bow, short shield, and saber would be nice. I have some steppe Turkic ancestry, the Khazars. The Khazars stopped the Muslim invasion of the Caucuses and Urals in a series of battles from 730-737.
