Just a bit of a correction here. The large flat rate box is not the #7. The #7 box is 12"x12"x8", the large flat rate is 12"x12"x5". The large flat rate box is automatically $14.95 shipping regardless of the weight. The most expensive #7 boxed shipment I've sent was a little over $15 BUT it had about 4 dozen bantam eggs in it. That many eggs would not have fit in the large flat rate box.
Just for size reference here's a list of the boxes you should use for shipping eggs:
#4 box (7"x7"x6"): safely ship up to 9 LF or duck eggs, up to 12 bantam eggs, or up to 40 quail eggs (depending on how you pack).
#7 box (12"x12"x8"): Safely ship up to 4 dozen bantam eggs, 3 dozen LF or duck eggs, or several goose/turkey/peafowl eggs. These are good to use if you have 'good' eggs that need double boxing, you can use the medium flat rate box to put the eggs in and put that box inside the #7.
Flat rate:
small (5 3/8"x8 5/8"x1 5/8"): Not recommended for shipping eggs, this box is about the size of a Disney VCR cassette case.
medium (11"x8.5"x5.5"): Shipping price $10.95; can safely hold about a 10-12 LF or duck eggs, up to 18 bantam eggs, up to 70 quail eggs (depending on how you pack, and yes I have sent this many in this box), or probably 4-6 turkey/goose/peafowl eggs.
large (12"x12"x5.5"): Shipping price $14.95; can hold a good amount of eggs, probably up to 18 LF or duck eggs, 2 dozen bantam eggs, or around 100 quail eggs. Can hold a large number of big eggs
