The intent of this article is to provide tips to package and label shipments correctly.
How to measure a package
- Find Length, Width and Height
The longest side of your package is the length. - Round Up
Round to the nearest whole number when taking your measurements. For example, 1 to 1.49 will be considered 1, and 2.5 to 2.99 is considered 3. - Keep Measurements Ready
You will need to input the measurements when you create your shipment.
Helpful tips
- Label placement: Place the label on the top of the package, away from seams, edges, closures, and sealing tape. Make sure the label is flat and smooth, and that it’s fully visible.
- Use packaging that does not bulge and is strong enough to protect the contents of the shipment.
- Accurately measure the size and weight of your package so you can avoid unexpected fees.
- Package labeling: For timely delivery, use proper labeling.
