I am at the post office every Tuesday, the flat rate envelope is only 5.65, regardless of the weight or distance (unless it is going to Canada or out of country). If your post office is charging you more someone is making a profit besides the post office, that is the rate established by the US post office. If someone is charging you more, report them.
Also the flat rate envelopes & boxes are free, there are also flat rate boxes, the ones I use are $12.35, regardless of weight. I have packed in as much as 20lbs. in the box.
