Got an email about this today at work. It seems like bulky packages shipped USPS will be more expensive going forward. Thought those of you who did a lot of buying and selling would be interested in this.
*Mods-if this needs moved feel free to put it in a more appropriate spot.


Good Afternoon,



Attached are some Frequently Asked Questions about the upcoming NonStandard Fee for Parcels that will be effective 4/3/22.



The Postal Service has created new fees for packages exceeding a nonstandard dimension or cubic measurement for Retail, Commercial, and NSA competitive Domestic (USPS Retail Ground, PME, PM, PS/PSLW, Retail Ground LOR, FCPS Retail) packages (excluding PMOD and USPS Flat Rate packaging or Regional Rate packaging supplied by the Postal Service). The new fees will be for parcels that require additional handling due to dimensional/cubic measurement.



This Nonstandard Fee will apply when the length (defined as the longest side) of a package exceeds 22”, or when the package volume exceeds 2 cubic feet. All parcel dimensions (Length, Width, Height) must be provided as part of electronic documentation.

  • Parcels that exceed 22 inches but not greater than 30 inches in length, add $4.00.
  • Parcels that exceed 30 inches in length, add $15.00.
  • Parcels that exceed 2 cubic feet (3456 cubic inches), add $15.00.
If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you for being a valued customer!

Everyone should check out www.pirateship.com and make an account for free. Huge savings on shipping costs 30%-60% off and most of the time UPS is cheaper than USPS.

UPS is cheaper for most commercial accounts and what we use for anything bigger than a large envelope whenever possible. I'll have to remember about pirateship next time I need to ship something.
 
Maybe common knowledge but Paypal offers UPS & USPS shipping labels too. Around 30-35% discount. I have usps acct and still find it cheaper to ship through PayPal
 
I have to ship some arrows soon, guess I'll move that up the priority list. +15 would suck
