Unsure of Carrier Rules? We'll Figure It Out

Not sure if UPS, FedEx, or USPS is the right choice? Confused about size limits, weight restrictions, or what you can't ship? We deal with this every single day—we'll walk you through it.

What We Do

We compare carriers, explain the rules, and recommend the best service for your specific item and timeline. Then we pack and ship it correctly so there are no surprises.

Why This Happens

Every carrier has different rules: UPS doesn't take hazmat, FedEx has strict dimensional weight formulas, USPS has flat rate options but confusing size limits. Most people only ship a few times a year—we ship hundreds of packages weekly.

How We Help

  1. Tell us what you're shipping and where it's going
  2. We check: size, weight, contents, and timeline
  3. We explain which carrier makes sense (cost vs speed)
  4. We tell you what's not allowed (batteries, liquids, aerosols, etc.)
  5. We pack it to that carrier's standards
  6. We hand it off and you get tracking

What to Bring

  • The item you're shipping (or a description)
  • Destination address
  • Your timeline (does it need to arrive by a certain date?)

Frequently Asked Questions

Get quick answers to the most common questions about packaging, carriers, pricing, and what to expect.

How do I know which carrier is cheapest?

We'll quote all three (UPS, FedEx, USPS) and show you the cost and delivery time for each. You pick.

Can I ship lithium batteries?

Depends. Small lithium batteries (in phones, laptops) are okay with restrictions. Loose batteries or large lithium packs often aren't. We'll check.

What if I need it there by Monday?

We'll show you overnight, 2-day, and 3-day options from each carrier and tell you the latest drop-off time for Monday delivery.

Stop by or call—we'll answer your questions and get it shipped right the first time.

“Great place with easy and fast shipping services. Frank was excellent! Not only was he friendly and professional, but went out of his way to find me the easiest and most affordable option to ship my golf clubs across country while I was visiting OH. Made things simple and my travels way easier.”

“This is my new favorite place for shipping and returns. Helpful and happy staff. It just doesn’t get any easier when you have returns with multiple shippers. UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, Happy Returns, etc. They can also ensure you get the best shipping rates because they provide service for so many shippers. Just awesome!!!”

“Frank, the owner of Mailbox Plus in Concord Township by Lucky’s Market, is truly exceptional. He is brilliant, thoughtful, attentive, and takes the work of shipping and transportation seriously. I have been mailing sentimental items—some quite large and bulky—to different parts of the U.S., and Frank consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is handled with care. Most recently, my friend received a set of 10 collector plates, and they arrived safe and sound because they were packaged so exceptionally well. If you talk with Frank, you quickly learn that he has a real philosophy and a deep sense of care when it comes to shipping people’s belongings. He treats each item with respect, and that means so much. Beyond the quality of his work, Frank is simply a good man. He listened kindly while we rang up the transaction, and having such a friendly, caring person behind the counter made the experience even more meaningful. I am grateful for his help and highly recommend supporting this store.”
