    I had the same problem about a week ago when I could not get USPS First Class Mail prices using Chrome but I could get them on Firefox. Now I can't get First Class Mail prices on any of the browsers, Chrome Firefox or IE.

    Can someone tell me how much it would cost to send a large envelope weight 14 ounces from 02116 to 90210? Thank you.

    I don't know what to do. I cleared my cache, my history and nothing works.

    You can't buy that postage on their site is why it's not showing. Just look at the price for First Class Parcel and put a peanut in the envelope.

    I always got a price and, like you said, the box would be checked that it is not available online. I don't understand why I can't get prices anymore. It doesn't even give me the screen that asks if the envelope is thick or rigid.

    Aah. The doofs haven't updated for over 13 oz yet. It would be $4.40 retail price.

    As a large envelope you won't have DC, parcel will.

    Mill Cove.......I think the problem is that first class has a weight limit of 13 oz. anything above that won't show as an option. It would have to go priority. Just for fun....try reducing your weight to 13 ozs. and see if the first class option shows back up.

    First Class is now available to 15.99 oz but they have not updated their page.

    On stamps.com it's $3.55 for 14 oz package or thick envelope

    You can't get a price over 13 ounces.

    Since 2011

    I guess it's only for those using Commercial Plus Pricing online.

    That works for paypig, ebay shipping, stamps.com, etc. Not available at the counter.

    The weight limit for 1st class parcel went up to 15.999 ounces, BUT it is only available for pre-printed postage. You can NOT get that rate over the counter and you may have parcels with pre-printed postage weighing over 13 oz rejected at the counter because they do not have access to that weight/rate and thus do not know about it.

    TOO LATE TO THE PARTY MANSONS!!!!!!

    sorry

    If you have to go to the PO with it, your only option would be Priority or Parcel Select or whatever they're calling it this month.

    I just figured out I can use the Paypal multi order for printing out the labels.
