Weight Restrictions by Carrier

Chit Chats works with our partner carriers to provide fast, low-cost shipping options to our clients. Carriers enforce strict weight restrictions which are dependent on the service and destination. To prevent delays or inaccurate postage amounts, please ensure that your shipment falls within the allowable limits.

Here’s a quick overview of weight restrictions by service. Don’t forget that weight is determined by the greater of either the actual scale weight or dimensional weight.

The USPS International Mail Manual serves as an excellent guide when shipping to a specific destination as weight limits do vary by destination.

It’s always a good idea to double check and weigh all your packages. Taking the time to verify weight and dimensions can greatly reduce the stress of having a delayed shipment. Find more details in our Help & Support article or contact our support team with any questions. Don’t forget that all Chit Chats branches have postal scales on site for client use and also available for purchase.
