Learn why Pirate Ship doesn't sell USPS® First Class Mail International Flats or other mailing services

Pirate Ship only offers labels for USPS® parcel shipping services. If you're just trying to mail a letter, you're best off buying some cool stamps at the Post Office 😉

Why Pirate Ship does not offer stamps or postage for mailing letters

Pirate Ship is built for eCommerce shipping, so we do not offer any USPS® mail services for domestic or international, as those services are meant for letters and documents, not merchandise.

  • Mailing Services Not Available on Pirate Ship: Some of the mailing services that Pirate Ship does not offer include the following:

    • First-Class Mail

    • Metered Mail

    • Marketing Mail

    • Bound Printed Matter

    • Forever stamps

    • Certified Mail

    • First Class Mail International Large Envelope

    • Flat services

  • Mailing Services Don't Include Tracking: These mailing services above don't come with tracking (while the labels have a number that LOOKS like a tracking number, it isn't one). Every shipping service, on the other hand, includes tracking.

  • USPS May Reject Packages Sent with Mailing Services: Since mailing services like First Class Mail International Large Envelope / Flat service are not intended for merchandise, USPS® will reject and return your packages if you try to use these mailing services to send anything other than documents.
