Canada Post Flat Rate Boxes

[waiting.words]

I read somewhere in the eBay community that Canada Post Flat Rate Boxes are no longer in use?  

I'm not entirely sure what this means, as these boxes are available at Canada Post.  That being said, I would like to send some of my products via this method, but I'm not sure how to do this as they are not part of the domestic shipping dropdown selections.  

Any advise would be welcome.

Thanks!

You can use flat rate shipping (instead of calculated) for Domestic since the cost of a box is same for anywhere in Canada.

I would use the generic: Economy Shipping

...

Canada Post flat rate boxes have not been discontinued, perhaps it was a very old thread talking about the flat rate eBay branded boxes (those were discontinued years ago).

I found a few of those old ebay branded boxes in storage today! I'm wondering what would happen if I try to use one.

They're still available. They ship at Canada Post Expedited speed, so choosing that as the shipping option should be fine along with charging a flat rate.

You can buy the boxes on the Canada Post website.

There is no discount for buying them through eBay nor for buying them en masse.

And as mentioned, since they are Flat Rate, you just use Flat Rate shipping.

Apparently they travel as Expedited, but there's something to be said for calling the Flat Rate (which you fill in) Regular Parcel, because it will promise less and give you more.
