All, Hopefully this will help others
Just an observation from recent experiences. Very recently I mailed a box that looked basically identical to a MFRB but didn't say it on it. I went to my regular dude at the local P/O that I have mailed many FRB's out with and he said that will be $28.50. With a very puzzled look I said WTH? His response was that I used the wrong box. At the time i had three boxes on the counter and to me they all looked the same but that one didn't say "Flat Rate Box" and went on to say I must have gotten the box from the wrong bin but if I wanted to switch boxes it could go as a flat rate. So i switched it out and lessen learned. Now thinking back on recent purchases I believe this is happening on a regular basis because I've received two parcels recently with inflated shipping rates on boxes that should have gone flat rate.
All i'm saying watch out because they'll ding almost double you in a flash if your not careful.
