·2 years agoI bet a thousand dollars you can't send a package with those dimensions through USPS, let alone for $15.
Clean your screen and clean your eyeglasses and double check that price through USPS.
The package exceeds the maximum size for USPS. It exceeds regular package size for USPS, FedEx and UPS. Oversized packages are shipped freight rate at FedEx and UPS and is charged for dimensional weight. That means a light weight package will be charged as if it's a heavier package because of how large it is.
Check rates at DHL and FedEx.

·2 years agoYour listing says you will ship the sign with UPS for $150 so USPS is not a factor.
Why are you ask about FedEx?

I see $150 for ground advantage.

What ‘schedule’ did you look at to find the $150 or $15? There isn’t a static rate chart - did you use the shipping calculator? https://www.ebay.com/shp/Calculator
When I put those dimensions into the calculator, the only thing it shows me is flat rate services. But - to use a flat rate service, you must manually make sure that the item fits in the flat rate package - the calculator does not do that.

If yo enter those dimensions, eBay will not give you a usps cost. The package is too large for usps - it can only be a max of 130†length plus girth. Your package is 72 + 48+ 2 + 48 + 2 = 172â€.
