Biggest mail

I think you meant to ask "What is the biggest mail?"

The term "mail" can refer to various things, so I'll provide a few possible answers:

  1. Volume of mail: The largest volume of mail is likely to be the number of letters, packages, and parcels handled by postal services worldwide. According to the Universal Postal Union, the global postal industry handled over 150 billion pieces of mail in 2020.
  2. Weight of mail: The heaviest mail is often associated with large packages, such as pallets of goods or even vehicles. For example, in 2019, a postal service in the United States reported handling a package weighing over 2,000 pounds (approximately 900 kg).
  3. Size of mail: The largest mail item is often a matter of debate, as it depends on how one defines "mail." However, some notable examples include:
    • A 2019 report by the United States Postal Service (USPS) mentioned a package measuring 12 feet (3.6 meters) long, 4 feet (1.2 meters) wide, and 4 feet tall, weighing over 1,000 pounds (approximately 450 kg).
    • In 2018, a Chinese e-commerce company shipped a package measuring 16 feet (4.9 meters) long, 4 feet wide, and 4 feet tall, weighing over 2,000 pounds (approximately 900 kg).

Please note that these examples are exceptional cases, and most mail is much smaller and lighter.
