Hm, I'm not sure. When I put in a box with the dimensions of 14x10x10, the prices were pretty much the same as with a box under 12", for both standard and priority. When I tried one at 20x10x10, the priority price jumped but the standard mail remained the same. So it really varies but just how large "large" is. If you have a truly very large package it may be that the people at the post office they are doing you a favor and not charging you for the size.
