My Shipping Policy

My Shipping Policy

I do not sell or ship Hazardous, Restricted, or Perishable Mail. Nothing applies to these categories of the U.S.P.S. for myself and my items. You must comply to the U.S.P.S. Postal Addressing Standards, many times a buyer has written a address incorrectly as is recognized by the U.S.P.S. database and they make corrections which are then applied to the shipping labels printed either by PayPal/U.S.P.S. or U.S.P.S. These Standards refer to the U.S.P.S. Publication 28 - Postal Addressing Standards (July 2006) Click Here, you may view my copy of Street Abbreviations here. See Section #22 Last Line of the Address for specific details about addresses Here. For a list of vendors certified for various barcoding products, please visit our Web site at www.usps.gov or call 800-238-3150. Appendix F Address Standardization - County, State, Local Highways. Standard Abbreviations for Spanish-Language. There is so much more content I have not included here nor linked to that everyone that desires more knowledge needs to get online and find what they need to read regarding shippers and their requirements and standard methods.

Global Express Guaranteed™

Calculate Dimensional Weight
The rate of postage for Global Express Guaranteed may be affected by the package dimensions as well as the weight.

To use the Global Express Guaranteed for a mailpiece that is not a document, it must be sufficiently large enough (i.e., approximately 7 inches (height) x 12 inches (length)) to allow the Global Express Guaranteed Air Waybill/Shipping Invoice to be affixed to the face of the item.

Total Length and Girth combined may not exceed 108 inches.

Individual dimensions may not exceed:

Length - 46 inches
Width - 35 inches
Height - 46 inches
Weight may not exceed 70 pounds

The calculator will compute the dimensional weight of the package and compare it to the actual weight. The greater of the two is used to determine your shipping cost.

Dimensional Weight = (Length x Width x Height)/166 for rectangular shape
Dimensional Weight = ((Length x Width x Height) x 0.785) /166 for nonrectangular shape

Refund Process for Delayed Packages
The refund process for a service failure for a domestic Express Mail or Global Express Guaranteed item with online labels is the same as for traditional labels. Submit requests for Express Mail® service refunds to your local Post Office. For Global Express Guaranteed service failures call 1-800-222-1811.
