What is the maximum length and girth (combined) for a parcel?

The maximum length and girth combined for a parcel mailed through the USPS is indeed 130 inches for standard post. This measurement includes both the length of the longest side of the parcel and the girth, calculated as twice the width plus twice the height. If a package exceeds the standard threshold of 108 inches, oversize charges will apply, which is a standard policy for postal services to manage larger parcels effectively.

Understanding this helps in ensuring that customers are aware of potential additional fees when shipping larger items, and it also encourages them to package their items within the standard limits to avoid unexpected costs. For parcels that exceed this measurement, it reflects proper adherence to USPS regulations, ensuring packages can be handled efficiently in the postal system.
