United States Postal Service (USPS) is offering a discount to the military service members for the first time.  From March 3, there will be a new flat-rate box (12″ x 12″ x 5 ½” or 800 cubic inches) that is 50% larger than the current one and can be delivered to an APO/FPO address by priority mail for $10.95.  It represents a $2 discount when a new priority mail large flat-rate box is shipped to an APO/FPO destination. The two existing flat-rate boxes, which currently retail for $8.95 for U.S. addresses, are not available for the military discount. All flat-rate boxes can be used for international shipping.
