I need to send a package about 50lbs 2'x1'x1'

it doesnt fit into "media mail" qualifications but it is 25 dollars cheaper to ship and i dont care how long it takes. do you think usps will deny me for shipping it? i packed it in a box and wrapped it with a lot of tape so you cant really tell what is inside.

 

i think there is a package weight limit that the post office accepts ... or is it a dimension limit. i think it might be both.

 

i already checked online. i could ship it cause its under 70lbs and under 108 inches combined length around the thickest part. aka 24+24+12+12=72inches

 

Let me guess what it is.......A GSR head? I think its to big and heavy for USPS to ship. I think you will end up having to ship it through UPS or Fedex.

 

it fits the requirements for packaging but it doesn't fit the "media" requirements

 

Does it give any reason why it doesn't fit the "media" requirements? What is "media" anyway?

 

Media Mail (Book Rate)

Description

Used for books, film, manuscripts, printed music, printed test materials, sound recordings, play scripts, printed educational charts, loose-leaf pages and binders consisting of medical information, videotapes, and computer recorded media such as CD-ROMs and diskettes. Media Mail cannot contain advertising.

The maximum size is 108 inches in combined length and distance around the thickest part.

Mark each package "Media Mail" in the postage area.

 

I have no idea why it would not meet the requirements as long as they don't know whats in it. I would try to ship it and see what they say.

 

They have signs all over inside are post office lobby That say we reserve the right to inspect all media mail.

 

i know..i know..im shipping it regular mail for ~45 bucks

but it would have been sweet if it could ship for 17 instead :rick:
