Now, how do you explain this works?
Because the Priority Envelope was a Flat Rate envelope. It carries the Post Office brand, helps with advertising and they actually make money on it because most people ship less weight than postage paid. Always double check, depending on where you are shipping to, Flat Rate with the Postal Service can save you money. Not always so check.
