Change to USPS Large Flat Rate Box Dimensions

Postby Dr. Cadmium » Sat Oct 09, 2021 7:17 pm

USPS is reducing the size of the LFRB on one side from 12 1/4" to 12"

I'm not sure if this will have a major impact on those of you who ship CTUs, but I figured some of you would find it relevant.

Apparently this is being done to speed up sorting and delivery. USPS will still honor the old LFRB, but they may take slightly longer to deliver.

If you really need the old LFRB, stock up now.

Just more "Shrinkflation"

The truth will set you free,
but first it's really going to piss you off.

USPS website to order boxes already has the new dimensions. So if you're set on getting the old size, look at your post offices to get the last of the inventory.
