Notes on DIM and International Shipments

Keep the following in mind when using USPS services through Stamps.com:

DIM Weight: When calculating dimensional weight, the weight divisor has been lowered to 166. The new formula to determine dimensional weight is (Length x Width x Height) / 166.
- If DIM weight applies to your package, the carrier will compare the DIM weight and actual weight and charge the higher of the two for the label. For this reason, ShipStation recommends that you always enter the correct package dimensions when you configure your shipments. Thus, the rate you see in ShipStation will reflect the correct weight.
  
  If the label you print for your shipment reflects the incorrect rate as determined by USPS, you may be subject to the USPS Automated Package Verification. This can automatically deduct the difference in postage from your USPS postage provider account.
The Large Package type will represent any package type over the default dimensional weight threshold of one cubic foot.

Dimensions are required if you use the Large Package type with the Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, or Parcel Select Ground shipping services.
The Package package type will represent any packages that are one cubic foot or less, and will not require dimensions in ShipStation.
The maximum weight for a USPS First Class International shipment that uses the Large Envelope or Flats package type with Documents as the contents type is 15.994 oz.
The maximum weight for a USPS First Class International shipment that uses the Large Envelope or Flats package type with a contents type other than Documents is 4.4 lbs. These shipments will automatically use Stamps.com's Global Advantage Program labels.
