The USPS shipping services offer economical ways to ship lightweight parcels and envelopes domestically and internationally. Here, we go over which USPS shipping services<\/a> are available and what their restrictions are. They range in price and delivery timeframe. <\/span><\/p>\n

USPS First Class Mail<\/span><\/h2>\n

USPS First Class Mail is an economical way to ship parcels, thick envelopes, and envelopes weighing under 16 oz. Packages must be smaller than the maximum dimensions of 22″ x 18″ x 15″. Delivery usually takes 3 business days to reach its final destination. <\/span><\/p>\n

USPS First Class Mail International<\/span><\/h2>\n

USPS First Class Mail International has different restrictions than its domestic counterpart. All parcels must be under 4 lbs. A package may not exceed a maximum of 24″ length, L+H+W= 36″. Additionally, the delivery time frame is not set in stone. It generally takes 7-21 days for a First Class Mail International parcel to reach its final destination. But, there are no delivery guarantees, so final delivery may take longer. <\/span><\/p>\n

USPS Priority Mail<\/span><\/h2>\n

USPS Priority Mail is a great option to send parcels weighing less than 70 lbs domestically. They may not exceed 108\u201d in combined length and girth (the length of the longest side, plus the distance around the thickest part of the package). Generally, USPS Priority Mail takes 1-3 business days to reach its final destination.<\/span><\/p>\n

USPS Priority Mail Express<\/span><\/h2>\n

USPS Priority Mail Express has the same size and weight restrictions as standard Priority Mail. However, the delivery timeframe is either next-day or 2-day between pickup and final delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n

USPS Priority Mail International<\/span><\/h2>\n

USPS Priority Mail International follows the same 70 lb max weight limit as domestic services do. However, there are also country-specific limits that are lower than 70 lbs. There is also a maximum size limit of 79\u201d in combined length and girth (the length of the longest side, plus the distance around the thickest part of the package).<\/span><\/p>\n

USPS Parcel Select<\/span><\/h2>\n

USPS Parcel Select is an economical way to ship bulk parcels (generally 50 or more). <\/span>Packages can weigh up to 70 lbs. and they can measure up to 130\u201d in combined length and distance around the thickest part. <\/span>These parcels have a wide range in delivery times and can take 2-8 days to reach their final destination.<\/span><\/p>\n

USPS Media Mail<\/span><\/h2>\n

USPS Media Mail is an economical option for shipping media such as books, CDs, vinyl records, and other bound material at least 8 pages in length. The maximum weight for these parcels is 70 lbs. They have a maximum size restriction of 108\u201d in combined length and girth. The delivery time ranges from 2-10 business days. One reason that this delivery timeframe is longer is that the USPS may inspect parcels to verify the content is allowed.<\/span><\/p>\n

USPS Packaging<\/h2>\n

USPS Priority Flat Rate<\/h3>\n

USPS Priority Flat Rate refers to a class of packages that are size-definite and can weigh up to 70 lbs. To get a rundown on the available flat rate package types, read our guide to USPS Flat Rate<\/a>. <\/p>\n

USPS Thick Envelope<\/h3>\n

USPS Thick Envelope is an envelope with one side that is greater than 6.12″ high or 11.5″ long or 0.25″ thick. The USPS rates these parcels the same as they would a standard package. <\/p>\n

H<\/span>ow ShipStation Helps Ship USPS Labels<\/span><\/h2>\n

ShipStation has a close partnership with Stamps.com. As a result, you can get <\/span>USPS discounts<\/span><\/a> that are far lower than you\u2019ll receive at the post office on USPS shipping services. With ShipStation, many USPS services allow <\/span>custom fields<\/span><\/a> to be added to labels for things like label messages and logos.<\/span><\/p>\n

ShipStation also gives you discounted rates for additional carriers such as <\/span>UPS<\/span><\/a>. This helps if you have larger parcels weighing over 5 lbs or so. You can also compare rates from different USPS services or other carriers to find the lowest shipping rate for any and all of your packages. With automated workflows and bulk printing options, you can save time and money on your shipping.  <\/span><\/p>\n
