About USPS

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is an independent agency of the executive branch of the United States federal government responsible for providing postal service in the United States, its insular areas, and its associated states.

The USPS retains the largest physical and logistical infrastructure of any non-military government institution and is the only delivery service that reaches every address in the United States. Capitalizing on its expertise in scheduling and high-volume sorting, USPS serves a vital role enabling digital commerce.

Service introduction

USPS offers the following services through the OneShip platform to ship in the United States.

Send your parcels

Prepare your packaging

Parcels must be packaged according to USPS Packaging Guidelines.

• Use strong packaging with enough room to add cushioning for fragile items and to prevent items from shifting. 
• Use enough 2-inch-wide packing tape to close and secure all seams. (But please don’t wrap your box in string, cord, or twine, which gets caught in USPS sorting equipment.)
• If you’re reusing a box, make sure all old logos, barcodes, shipping labels, and addresses are covered or blacked out.

Please refer to Tips for Measuring Packages to measure the size and weight of your package accurately so you can avoid unexpected fees.

Self-drop off to given location

You can drop off your parcels from USPS locations. Before you use drop off service please call USPS to make arrangements.

Prohibited items

Please refer to the List of Prohibited Items and note that delivery is NOT available for the items in the list. Do ensure that your parcels do not contain any of the items in list before shipping with USPS.

Basic liability coverage from USPS

USPS provides basic liability coverage for lost or damaged shipments. The coverage amount depends on the shipping service used:

• Priority Mail: Coverage up to $100 USD
• Ground Advantage: Coverage up to $100 USD

If your USPS shipment sent via SHOPLINE Shipping is lost or damaged, you are advised to file a claim with USPS within 7 to 30 days of the shipping date. Please note that submitting a claim does not guarantee compensation.

Pricing

1. Parcel weight will be determined by either actual or Dimensional(DIM) weight, whichever is higher. DIM Weight Formula (kg) = (Height x Width x Length) cm / 6000.
2. The shipping fee will be charged based on parcel weight after USPS measures the actual and dimensional weight in their distribution center.
3. Special rates apply to shipments to military post offices (APO/FPO/DPO) or overseas U.S. territories. Please refer to Charging Rules on Designated Destination.

OneShip reserves the right to amend this price list at any time without prior notice.
