I need to send a package to day, and I grabbed a box from the garage thios morning, butit is the Flat Rtae box. Do I have to pay the full $8.70 for this or can I sratch out the flat rate lable and just send it priority with DCN for $5?

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Quick shipping question
- Thread starter dpricenator
- Start date
I sent an old priority box I had via regular mail and it got returned, the post office said insufficient postage for priority. So I would not do it, unless it is no rush, because it may get returned.
Another note, I have done this several times before this last time and it did not happen, so you could be fine.
You have to pay full price for the flate rate or tape over everything and hope they do not see it is their Flat Rate box.
Just like the Priority boxes, part of the fee goes to pay for the boxes the USPS gives for free. They will return it to sender if they find out.

Righteously Indignant
I was going to suggest giving it a wrapping, with butcher paper or paper grocery sack to cover the flat rate bit. I've gotten away with that a number of times.
