Learn everything you need to know about USPS's service that could save you up to 89% off your Ecommerce shipments.
USPS Priority Mail Cubic® pricing is USPS's fastest and cheapest ways to ship Ecommerce packages, specifically those that weigh between 1 - 20 pounds. These discounts are as much as 89% off the price you pay at the post office.
Packages that qualify for USPS Priority Mail Cubic® are typically delivered anywhere in the USA between 1 - 3 days and include door-to-door tracking so that you and your customer can keep an eye on their prized goods.
Packages must meet the following criteria to qualify for Priority Mail Cubic®:
If any single side is larger than 18 inches, your package will not qualify. Even if more that one side is close to 18 inches, it's likely too large to qualify. Tubes and rolls do not qualify.
To calculate the total cubic feet, use this formula:
(Length x Width x Height)/1,728 = Cubic Feet
