This applies to all mail.

What if package weighs more than shipping label. No one is going to quibble if a prepaid 2 pound package weighs 2 pounds 01 ounces but if its actually weighing in at 2 pounds 1 ounce and then some its better to suck it up and pay the correct 3 pound rate that it should be carrying. Ups and fedex re weigh everything you ship through them. What happens if i ship an item through usps that weighs more than what the shipping label states.

So on the shipping page i put in 1 lb and 0 oz. So how does the usps know that the weight is correct. What happen if i enter the wrong weight of an item when purchase shipping label.

1 the package will eventually be returned to you requiring additional postage this time of year the package may be allowed to go through for. I have an ebay business that im starting up and i am going to start printing my own shipping labels. Usps rounds up to either the next pound lb or ounce oz.

Remember always round up for example when i weigh an item i put the item the mailer box or bubble a packing slip any packing materials and half a sheet of paper to stand in for the label on the scale if i get 40 oz i round up to 5 oz because i will use 3 strips of packing tape to fasten the shipping label plus at least one strip of tape to seal the mailer. The weight and dimension of the package allow the couriers to pre plan their routes. Before we go on to the most common scenarios of what can happen if the parcel weighs more than stated on the shipping labe l let us tell you why it is important to provide the courier company with an accurate description of your parcel.

So if you put a package at 1 puond and it weighs 10 pounds they will charge you 10 pounds. If you drop the package off in person the clerk will weigh it there and you will pay for the additional postage. I am trying to ship a package that weighs around 1 lb.

Will my item get lost during the mailing. For example if your package weighs 3 lbs 5 oz it would be charged at the 4 lb rate. If you have an item for shipping by first class package service that weighs 73 oz it must be charged at the 8 oz rate.

They will also hit you with dimensional weight which went into effect one year ago. I could lie and ship it really cheap if they dont check right. If you leave it for the carrier or drop it in a box one of two things will happen.

Packages get weighed without their labels affixed they get wet.
