Get Your Package Ready

First things first – you need to pack your items in a sturdy box. If you don’t have one, you can order supplies online or buy one at The UPS Store

  • Seal your box with plastic or nylon tape at least two inches wide. Don’t use duct tape.
  • Wrap items separately and use cushioning material. Get packaging tips.
  • Keep in mind, there are additional rules for special-care and prohibited items.
  • You’ll need to know the dimensions and weight of your box.

Help! I don’t know how to weigh my package.

You have two options:

  • Weigh yourself while holding the package, and then weigh yourself alone. Subtract one from the other; or
  • Use our flat rate shipping. You don’t need to know the weight of the package at all.

  • Choose how fast you want your package to arrive.
  • See how much it will cost.
  • Pay by card or PayPal, or pay in store at a UPS location.
