Learn about the minimum package dimensions required to purchase USPS and UPS labels on Pirate Ship

Updated over 3 months ago

They say good things come in small packages... but when you use Pirate Ship, USPS® and UPS® do have a minimum package size requirement!

Minimum package dimensions for USPS and UPS labels on Pirate Ship

  • Minimum Box Size: When shipping a box, the minimum dimensions are 6x3x0.25".

    • If your box is smaller than that, USPS and UPS could technically reject your package... although we rarely see this happen.

  • Put Small Boxes in Poly Mailers: It's best to use a box that's at least as big as the minimum dimensions... but if there's no way for you to do that, we recommend putting the box into a small poly mailer envelope when shipping it.
