That is NOT a flat rate.

 

You would have to package and weight the item in the tyvek mailer.

The cost is by weight and distance, just like any other Priority Mail shipment that is not Flat Rate nor Regional Rate.

Sure, it's on the USPS website. It's a Priority package and it goes by weight. How much does it weigh?

I was just curious, its easier to fit items into those envelopes than the flat rate ones. Do I weigh the items before or after I packaged it all up? Thanks!

The tyvek enveopes weigh next to nothing, so it doesn't matter if you weigh the items before or after you package them up.

You will pay the rate for the actual size and weight of the final package, so it is best to get as accurate a size and weight as possible to estimate your shipping costs.

 

It is optimal to weigh the item already packaged. However, it is possible to estimate the weight by knowing the size package it will go in and weighing all the components: package (envelope or box), item, packing material that will be used, and the label and packing slip.

 

Use materials as close to the final packaging as you can. Measure what the final size will be (very important, because at a certain dimension, the rates increase significantly). Use a postal scale to weigh the total content.

 

Use that info in your description or to determine shipping cost to you (if you list as free shipping).

 

I have prepackaged the envelopes and boxes I use most often so that I can place those 'sample' packages on the scale and add the item. This way I have a very close estimate to determine cost.
