eBay

I have USPS priority mailing boxes (the pre-printed ones that you get for free from the post office) that list the longest dimension as 15.375 (OD). According to the USPS site, a large package is defined as "any dimension over 12 inches." OK, fine, so that would indicate this is a large package. However, I've also seen ebay discussions in which it appears a large package refers to the overall girth of the box, rather than any single dimension. The OD dimensions of this box are 12.5 x 3.125 x 15.375.

Is this considered a large package or just a "regular" package? I can't believe I find this so confusing.

Thanks!

USPS does not have any girls.

Employee, unless on a temporary waiver, need to be able to move a 70# item.

Ironic isn't it? I'm a 6 foot 210 lb male and where I work, if I get caught lifting more that 50 lbs., I can be written up.

"USPS does not have any girls."

I'm worried about the weight the employee has to haul and you're worried about some terminology.

Interesting! In most commercial bakeries lifting 100# sacks of flour was normally required.
