• Round up on weights. When calculating the postage price for your package, USPS rounds up the weight (to the next pound for most heavier packages or to the next available ounce-rate for some lightweight packages). For example, if your package weighs 3 lbs 4 oz, it would be charged at the 4 lb-rate. However, if you have a lightweight USPS Ground Advantage^® package that weighs 5 oz, you'll pay the 8 oz-price (based on the available pricing increments: 4 oz, 8 oz, 12 oz, and 15.999 oz).
• Check the dimensions. Dimensional (DIM) weight rates apply to domestic Priority Mail^®, Priority Mail Express^®, USPS Ground Advantage, and Parcel Select^® packages larger than 1 cubic foot (1,728 cubic inches). If the DIM weight (Length x Width x Height ÷ 166) is greater than the actual package weight, you’ll need to pay the DIM weight price.
• If you omit or give inaccurate dimensions and/or don’t pay the DIM weight rate (when it applies), you’ll pay a dimension-noncompliance fee.
• See if a nonstandard size fee applies. You'll pay an extra fee for sending a nonstandard size:
  • For ground shipping via Parcel Select Delivery Destination Unit (DDU) or Destination Hub (DHUB), you'll pay more if your package measures:
    • Between 22 and 30 inches long: add $2.00
    • More than 30 inches long: add $6.00
    • More than 2 cubic feet (3,456 cubic inches): add $18.00
  • For ground shipping via Parcel Select Delivery Network Distribution Center (DNDC) or Delivery Sectional Center Facility (DSCF), you’ll pay more if your package measures:
    • Between 22 and 30 inches long: add $3.00
    • More than 30 inches long: add $7.20
    • More than 2 cubic feet (3,456 cubic inches): add $18.00
  • For ground shipping via USPS Ground Advantage, you’ll pay more if your package measures:
    • Between 22 and 30 inches long: add $4.00
    • More than 30 inches long: add $8.40
    • More than 2 cubic feet (3,456 cubic inches): add $18.00
  • For expedited shipping (via Priority Mail Express or Priority Mail), you’ll pay more if your package measures:
    • Between 22 and 30 inches long: add $4.00
    • More than 30 inches long: add $18.00
    • More than 2 cubic feet (3,456 cubic inches): add $30.00
• Match the label to the packaging. USPS provides a wide range of shipping options to help you meet your mailing needs. Make sure that the label you are using matches the packaging. For example, if you are using a Flat Rate Box, you must also use a Flat Rate label. Or, anything shipped in Priority Mail packaging requires a Priority Mail label.
• Place the label on the long side of the box. Labels should not wrap over the ends or edges and all barcodes should face up in the same direction.
• Double-check the zone. If you are using PC Postage software, verify that the sender’s address is up to date before printing the label. Please note USPS charges by zone not by ZIP Code^™; use the Domestic Zone Chart to get the zone for your destination ZIP Code^™. To get the most accurate postage cost by zone and weight, use the Business Price Calculator.
