I just found this chart, which gives a better picture of what is about to happen
to priority mail. Currently all USPS Priority Mail up to 5 pounds is flat-rated
regardless of distance. If the new proposed changes are enacted as requested,
then only 1-lb priority mail will be flat-rate. Everything over 1-lb will be
zone-rated. Shipments to zone-8 will increase by 50%-90%. Sellers offering flat-
rate shipping beware.
