-It has NO identifiers -#1092 is 12.125 x 2.75 x 13.375 -Can I use this as a "regional Box A2"? -I clicked "Regional Box A" on 'create shipping label' ... Measurements given were "11 1/16 x 2 1/2 x 13 1/16 inches" - YET..... when I go to the PO site, it cites - "Regional Rate Box A2 is 10-15/16" x 2-3/8" x 12-13/16" which does NOT match the measurements given on 'Create shipping label' ......  Is it OK to mail an item with Regional A2 rates in a #1092 box? Thanks to all! |

The regional boxes are marked Regional Box A or B. If it's a priority box with no further designation (regional, flat, etc), it just goes as priority weight/zone based.

What Jeremy said.
Regional Rate Boxes will be clearly marked as Regional Rates. Just a fun fact: Both A and B each come in 2 different sizes. As does the Large Flat Rate boxes (Game Board LFRs are AWESOME).

I measured the cft of both shapes on the LFRBs and they're basically the same except you can shove so much more in the game boxes because of the long sides. |

OK, let me clarify: They come in two different shapes, not sizes. |

Don't try to use any box that is not marked Regional Rate with a Regional Rate shipping label.
Way back I used a flat rate box for Regular Priority and the item was retuned to me. I had covered the Flat Rate marked section with the USPS colored tape. Boxes were almost the exact same size, the square 8 x 8 box.
Somewhere along the way you might get someone who will notice it, mark it incorrect use, and then return to sender.

The Regional Rate A is slightly shorter than the reg Pr. I found that when I tried to ship leather portfolios.
