4 Except if Saturday is a national holiday. Priority Mail Express service may be available for an added charge.

- 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 fee applies. You'll pay extra fees for sending nonstandard packages that are harder for USPS to process. Fees vary based on the length, volume, or characteristics. Learn more about how to measure your package.
- 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.
