Show Larger Packages to Be Accepted in U. S. Post Offices Beginning February 26, Postal Service customers will be able to mail larger and heavier packages than they have been able to in the past. Under new regulations, parcels weighing 70 pounds or less and measuring not more than 108 inches in length and girth combined can be mailed from any post office to any destination within the United States. These standards apply to all classes of mail, including Express Mail, priority mail and parcel post. Previously most post offices could not accept parcels weighing more than 40 pounds or measuring more than 84 inches. Military mail which is addressed to a location in the United States but whose final destination is overseas is not included in the new regulation. |
