Big size mail
You're referring to large or oversized packages that don't fit in standard mailboxes or envelopes!
In the United States, the United States Postal Service (USPS) has specific guidelines for sending large or oversized packages, which are often referred to as "large size mail" or "oversized packages." Here are some general guidelines:
Large Size Mail:
- Length: Up to 108 inches (8.5 feet)
- Girth: Up to 130 inches (10.8 feet)
- Weight: Up to 70 pounds
Oversized Packages:
- Length: Over 108 inches (8.5 feet)
- Girth: Over 130 inches (10.8 feet)
- Weight: Over 70 pounds
To send large or oversized packages, you'll need to use a special service offered by the USPS, such as:
- Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box: A flat-rate box that can be used for packages up to 108 inches in length and 130 inches in girth.
- Priority Mail Regional Rate Box: A flat-rate box that can be used for packages up to 70 pounds and 130 inches in girth.
- Parcel Post: A service that allows you to send packages up to 70 pounds and 108 inches in length.
- Freight: A service that allows you to send packages over 70 pounds and 108 inches in length.
Keep in mind that oversized packages may require additional handling and may incur higher shipping costs. It's always a good idea to check with the USPS or a shipping carrier for specific guidelines and rates before sending a large or oversized package.
