1. Create a new shipping method called USPS Priority Mail using the US Postal Service provider.
   1. Select the Priority Mail service.
2. Create a new shipping method called Priority Mail using the Package Rules provider.
   1. Select the US Postal Service/Priority Mail as the suggested service. This will be assigned to all suggested packages that use the fixed flat rate.
   2. Create a new Package Rule called FRB1 to place items into Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes.
      Criteria^†: Weight > 0
      Dimensions: 11 × 8.5 × 5.5
   3. Create a new Shipping Cost rule to use normal Priority Mail rates if they are less than the flat rate.
      When Packaging Name = "FRB1" and Use Rate From "USPS Priority Mail" < 8.10, use rate from "USPS Priority Mail" × 1.
   4. Create a new Shipping Cost Rule to use the Priority Mail Flat Rate. Make sure this rule comes after the rule above so that it is only used when the USPS Priority Mail rate is more than the flat rate.
      When Packaging Name = "FRB1", Cost = 8.10.
   5. Edit the default Shipping Cost rule to use rate from "USPS Priority Mail" × 1. The default rule is used for all items that do not fit into an FRB1 box.
