Although its thickness exceeds letter-size standards, it still falls within the standards for large envelopes, but because the mailpiece does not meet the flexibility criteria for a large envelope, it is classified as a package and pays the 2–ounce rate - $1.30.We talk a lot about making a memorable first impression on your customers with custom shipping boxes. Although it falls within letter-size standards, it is rigid, so the mailpiece is classified as a nonmachinable letter and pays the 2-ounce rate - $0.58 plus the $0.17 nonmachinable surcharge, for a total of $0.75.Įxample 7: A customer presents for mailing an item that is almost the same as the one described in Example 6 - it is a rigid, uniformly thick box that measures 7-5/8" long x 6" high and weighs 2 ounces, but is 1/2" thick. Rigid ItemsĮxample 6: A customer presents for mailing a rigid, uniformly thick box that measures 7-5/8" long x 6" high x 1/8" thick and weighs 2 ounces. It exceeds letter-size thickness standards and does not meet the uniform thickness standards for large envelopes, so the mailpiece is classified as a package and pays the 2-ounce rate - $1.30. Although it falls within letter-size standards, it is not uniformly thick, so the mailpiece is classified as a nonmachinable letter and pays the 3-ounce rate - $0.75 plus the $0.17 nonmachinable surcharge, for a total of $0.92.Įxample 5: A customer presents for mailing an item that measures 10-3/4" long x 5-3/8" high, weighs 2 ounces, and contains an odd-shaped item that gives it a nonuniform thickness that exceeds 1/4" at its thickest point. Items With Nonuniform Thickness (See DMM 601.11.18)Įxample 4: A customer presents for mailing an item that measures 11-1/2" long x 6" high, weighs 3 ounces, and contains an odd-shaped item that gives it a nonuniform thickness but does not exceed 1/4" at its thickest point. It falls within letter-size standards and meets the aspect ratio criterion, so the mailpiece is classified as a letter and pays the 2-ounce rate - $0.58. Although it falls within letter-size standards, it does not meet the aspect ratio criterion (it is square and therefore has an aspect ratio of less than 1.3), so the mailpiece is classified as a nonmachinable letter and pays the 2-ounce rate - $0.58 plus the $0.17 nonmachinable surcharge, for a total of $0.75.Įxample 3: A customer presents for mailing a uniformly thick, slightly flexible mailpiece (greeting card/invitation) that measures 6-5/8" long x 5" high x 1/8" thick and weighs 2 ounces. It exceeds the maximum letter height of 6-1/8", but it meets the rectangular, uniform thickness, and flexibility criteria for a large envelope, so the mailpiece is classified as a large envelope and pays the 2-ounce rate - $0.97.Įxample 2: A customer presents for mailing a uniformly thick, slightly flexible greeting card that measures 5-1/2" long x 5-1/2" high x 1/4" thick and weighs 2 ounces. Examples Greeting CardsĮxample 1: A customer presents for mailing a uniformly thick, slightly flexible musical greeting card that measures 6–1/2" long x 6-1/2" high x 1/4" thick and weighs 1.5 ounces.
