Expedited Parcel, You have entered invalid dimensions.

Hi everyone.

I was wondering if anyone else was having problems with the dimensions for expedited parcel on Paypal.

I can not get it to accept 72 x 6x 6 cm. Weight .980kg.

Any insight or a work around on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

what is the destination of the parcel?  Domestic?  USA?  Overseas?

[pierrelebel]

I suggest you go to your post office with the baseball bat and ask if it can be mailed as is - maybe in a plastic wrapper.

[dsfinegoodsemporium]

Destination is USA.

Canada Post website gives me about $25 depending on the State where it goes

Its a pepper mill, btw.

I don't think the customer would appreciate that form of unprotected shipping

With Expedited, you can only go up to 60cm, not more.  I use Expedited all the time, only up to 60 cm.  Actually I cannot understand why they need to limit to 60cm only.  If more, use XpressPost.

Trying to print a label through Paypal, Canada Post website accepts dimensions fine, but not Paypal.

Thanks

"Its a pepper mill, btw."

Oooops!  Sorry about that.  I looked at the picture and jumped to the wrong conclusion!

XpressPost., same result.

Minimum dimensions are 14cm X 9cm ( 51/2 X 31/2 inches). Your 6 is too small.

As mr elmwood said, one of your dimensions is too small but the dimensions he quoted are for small and tracked packet USA. The minimum dimensions for a expedited USA package are 21 x 14 x .5cm.  Maximum length, width or height is 2m so you're ok with your first number.

If you don't want to change the packaging you might want to see what Fedex would charge.

The Canada Post calculator on their site does have a glitch that gives a price even though the dimensions are too small so it isn't a Paypal problem.

Took the same package to the Post office, they were able to ship it expedited parcel, with no problem.

Thank you all for your responses.
