Yeah, I just saw these yesterday when I was at the po. Unfortunately these 2 boxes really don't fit anything I ship....ever. So while I'm glad they did this, it wont work for me. *sigh*
Besides I can usually ship cheaper using some of the other boxes USPS provides.
I think it's a great idea, the USPS is finally getting the picture! Way to go USPS.

Went llooking for some of these flat rate boxes today and the rural PO's near don't have any yet, but, you can order them online. I figured you paid $7.70 for the box as it would already have to postage onit, but I was wrong. You can order the boxes right from the USPS site at no charge and they are delivered to your door in 10-14 days, again at no charge. 25 boxes to to a pack.

An 11" x 8.5" x 5.5" box will hold 24.7 lbs of Flourite Red.
To send cross country via Priority Mail $23.30, now with a flat rate box it's only $7.70. Think of the saving in shipping bags of fish. The box shape will also allow for a large volume of plants.
The box holds 1.9 cubic gallons.
