Packing & Preparation

Answer

• Why won’t the post office let me send something as “large envelope” ?

  Hi, I was using the shipping calculator, and for a delivery to qualify for “large envelope” it must be no more than 15’x12’ and 3/4” thick, max weight 13oz.  My letter is only 6.5” x 9” and 1/4” thick, weighing 2oz, should come out to $1.00 even.

  The post office keeps telling me that I have to ship it as a first class package because it’s more than 1/4” thick, and because there’s a small bulged area (1/4” about), I guess they think I’m trying to send merchandise.

  The only delivery method that can be no thicker than 1/4” is a regular letter, while the large envelope can be 3/4” thick. I don’t know if they don’t know their own policy from their own website, or if they’re playing games with me. I can’t afford to pay $5 every time I mail something.

• USPS tracking?

  Hi!

  My friend who lives in the U.S sent me a package to arrive in Australia Melbourne. She sent the item March 26th through USPS. Been tracking it since today and have noticed the last scan on April 9th on USPS says "Your item departed a transfer airport in KINGSFORD SMITH, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA" with the date and time included.

  What does this usually mean? Because on AUS POST, the latest scan I have is on March 28th saying "Miami, awaiting international departure" 

  Is my item in Sydney awaiting to arrive in Melbourne, or is it still in Miami..?

  Thanks!

• What would I need to bring with me?

  Hi, 

  I am 22 yrs old. I live in Edmonton and am moving to Banff for the summer to work. Since I will be working in a restaurant in a hotel, I will be able to live there for a fee of course. 

  The place is furnished, but, I will have to provide many things. Like my own dishes and utensils, but I am not sure what else I will need to take. I know it will be more expensive to buy stuff there so I want to take as much with me as I can. 

  Does anyone know what kind of things I would need to take?

• what do shipping routes between the UK and USA look like?

  I admit I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to domestic shipping routes in the USA, when I order a package I like trying to guess what hubs it will go through and testing which routes would be more effective. I recently purchased a package From the UK and they failed to provide me with the tracking info on top of that the package is scheduled to arrive in roughly two weeks. is this a normal amount of time for the distance, and because of the length of time would it be safe to assume my package is currently on a cargo ship? if you have any info on how different packages are shipped between the USA and UK that would be greatly appreciated any information would be nice this is just something I was curious about and wanted to learn more.
