The only one that wasn't was the Regional C box, which measured 12 by 12 by 15 inches after the Regional C postage rates were discontinued, the box was available for a few months as a generic non-Regional box. In fact, ALL of the free Priority Mail boxes currently available are below those surcharge thresholds. As long as it doesn't say "flat rate" or "Regional" on it, it will ship at the regular Priority Mail rates that are based on weight and distance.
