June 18, 2024

Discontinuance of Four Standard USPS-Branded Packaging Supplies

As part of the Delivering for America plan and simplifying our packaging offerings, the USPS conducted an analysis of packaging, and based on usage they have decided to discontinue further production of the following items effective immediately.

  • Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes Variety Pack (VARIETYBOX)
  • Priority Mail Medium Box Option 2 (O1097)
  • Priority Mail DVD Box (ODVDS)
  • Priority Mail Express Medium Box Option 1 (EMBOX2)

Each of these items will remain available while supplies last. Customers interested in ordering this pack are encouraged to place desired orders before supplies are depleted.

The Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes Variety Pack contains one of each of the Flat Rate boxes. The individual Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes are available for customers to order on usps.com through the Postal Store website or enhanced Click-N-Ship. The Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes can be ordered in single quantities through the Postal Store website or picked up at your local Post Office.

The recommended alternatives for the other three boxes are listed below.

AccuZIP’s Professional Services Team has been a great resource for helping me launch Informed Delivery campaigns for my clients. I am a small direct mail marketing agency specializing in helping my clients find and retain new customers with direct mail. Informed Delivery is the best thing the post office has come up with in my 30+ years in the business. However, just like everything else with the post office, they don't make it easy. AccuZIP has made doing these digital campaigns very simple. I have analyzed campaign results and found the price per click through to the client's website less than an Adword campaign. I am looking forward to working with AccuZIP and their entire Professional Services Team with more clients and campaigns.
