How is a parcel handled by USPS?<br \/>When a parcel is sent through USPS, it is processed and sorted at various postal facilities before being delivered to its final destination.

What are the size and weight restrictions for parcels sent through USPS?<br \/>The maximum size and weight limits for parcels sent through USPS vary depending on the specific shipping service used. For example, the maximum weight for a parcel sent via USPS Priority Mail is 70 pounds, while the maximum length plus girth for a parcel sent via USPS Retail Ground is 130 inches.
