Mail first class package

To mail a First Class package, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Prepare Your Package

• Make sure your package is properly packaged and sealed.
• Use a sturdy box that can withstand shipping.
• Wrap fragile items individually and place them in the box.
• Use packing materials like bubble wrap, foam inserts, or paper fill to prevent items from shifting during transit.

Step 2: Determine the Weight and Size of Your Package

• Weigh your package using a scale to determine its weight.
• Measure the length, width, and height of your package to determine its size.

• If your package exceeds these dimensions or weight, you may need to use a different shipping service, such as Priority Mail or Parcel Post.

Step 4: Calculate the Cost

• Use the USPS website or consult a postal scale to calculate the cost of shipping your package.
• Keep in mind that First Class Package Service rates vary depending on the weight and size of your package, as well as the destination.

• Make sure to select the correct shipping service and enter the correct weight and dimensions of your package.

Step 6: Attach the Label and Affix Postage

• Give the package to a postal employee and they will scan it and send it on its way.

Additional Tips
