In cross-border e-commerce operations, American buyers have increasingly high demands for "logistics experience", which has prompted sellers to continuously optimize shipping efficiency and service experience. The Fulfillment by Warehouse model is becoming the preferred fulfillment method for more and more small and medium-sized sellers.
Especially for sellers with overseas warehouses in the United States, they rely more on efficient, flexible, and cost transparent end of pipe delivery channels to complete order delivery.
USPS (United States Postal Service) is one of the most common delivery options for overseas warehouses in the United States. It has a wide coverage and relatively affordable price, and is highly favored by e-commerce platforms and independent sellers. However, when using USPS for dropshipping, there are also some details that need special attention.
Brief Explanation of USPS Channel Usage Rules
1. Pre internet service is not supported
Some USPS delivery products do not support pre online delivery, meaning that logistics information will not be pre generated before shipment. The logistics information will only be officially entered into the system after the package is received, weighed, and labeled for delivery. Although this mechanism increases the operating cycle, it also improves the accuracy of logistics data.
2. The billing method is based on actual weighing
USPS charges based on actual package weighing. If there is a bill adjustment (such as discrepancies between official weighing and shipping declaration), the final adjusted bill by USPS shall prevail, and fees shall be recovered accordingly.
3. Weight restrictions
The weight of each package should not exceed 15.999 ounces (approximately 4499 grams), suitable for shipping small and medium-sized goods such as accessories, lightweight clothing, small electronic products, etc.
4. Dimensional specifications
The size of a single package should be controlled within the following range: length<22 inches (55cm)
Width<18 inches (45cm)
Height<15 inches (35cm)
Total dimensions (length 2 x width 2 x height) < 108 inches (270cm)
The product of length, width, and height is less than 2 cubic feet (56600 cubic centimeters)
The minimum size is 6 x 4 inches (15 x 10cm) (with a single coverage required)
5. Shape restrictions
We do not accept irregular parts such as cylinders, spheres, triangular columns, scrolls, etc. If it is necessary to ship such packages, USPS may charge additional fees for non-standard items, which will be borne by the customer.
6. Delivery Time
The standard delivery time is 2-6 working days, which may not be applicable in remote areas. Please note that USPS does not assume the risk of delays caused by uncontrollable factors, such as weather disasters, political factors, etc. Once they occur, transportation timeliness cannot be guaranteed.
Although USPS has the advantages of wide coverage and high cost-effectiveness, for some sellers, there are inconveniences such as limited pre internet access and strict size restrictions.
