These shipments will automatically use Global Advantage Program (GAP) labels.I went by three post offices today and all were slammed with people-many sending #holidaypackages. The maximum weight for a USPS First Class International shipment that uses the Large Envelope or Flats package type with a contents type other than Documents is 4.4 lbs. The maximum weight for a USPS First Class International shipment that uses the Large Envelope or Flats package type with Documents as the contents type is 15.994 oz. However, we recommend always adding dimensions to your shipments.

The Package package type will represent any packages that are one cubic foot or less, and will not require adding dimensions in ShipStation. The Large Package type will represent any package type over the default dimensional weight threshold of one cubic foot.ĭimensions are required if you use the Large Package type with the Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, or USPS Ground Advantage (formerly Parcel Select Ground) shipping services. APV can automatically deduct the difference in postage from your USPS postage provider account. If the label you print for your shipment reflects the incorrect rate as determined by USPS, you may be subject to the USPS Automated Package Verification (APV). Thus, the rate you see in ShipStation will be reflective of the correct weight. For this reason, ShipStation recommends that you always enter the correct package dimensions when you configure your shipments.

If DIM weight applies to your package, the carrier will compare the DIM weight and actual weight and charge the higher of the two.
