The post office told me that. I do a lot of shipping. I also read it somewhere too. Just googled it and here is one source.

There is now a larger "legal" size Flat Rate Envelope - 9 1/2" x 15" for $4.95.
I printed 3 Shipping labels last evening & was charged the $4.75 for each label.
I'm curious to know where you are seeing that the Priority Flat Rate Envelope rate was raised???

Prices went up yesterday for Priority - check USPS.COM
