All outgoing parcels must have the ZIP code plus the last 4 digits. Example: 90041-3314.

A 1-ounce letter is now $ .63 metered mail, and each additional ounce goes up by .87 up to a 3.5-ounce letter. After that, the mail piece falls into a Large envelope category. Postal Operations can accept your outgoing mail bearing a postage stamp or we can meter the cost for you.

A letter cannot be larger than 6 1/8" x 11 1/2" or thicker than 1/4".  If it is out of these parameters then it falls into either a large envelope or parcel category.  Manila envelopes that are typically 9"x12" or 10"x13" are considered flats and pricing for flats starts out at $1.35 for a 1 ounce flat, 2 ounces is $1.83 to $3.66. Flats cannot be thicker than 3/4".  

If your mailpiece is out of the realm of a flat, then it will go out as a parcel.  If your parcel is over a pound, it will go out as Priority Mail. We are able to offer great savings for priority mail flat rate - inquire at the Customer Counter.

Please check with a Mail Clerk at the Customer Counter for correct pricing or log onto the USPS website.
