Note: When considering rates, Flats can only be sent out First Class Mail, if they're sent out Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express they're billed as a Parcel.

Now that we know the size requirements and what method we can use; we can figure out the weight requirements. If you're shipping out First Class Mail the entire package (item + envelope) has a maximum weight of 13oz (quick Panda tip, this does not come with any tracking). If your shipping Priority Mail Express or Priority Mail then your maximum weight is 70 pounds.
