I am a new seller, and I am currently selling Samsung wall chargers. I was wondering if someone experienced could tell me if it fits through the mail box having it to be 8.2 inch / 21mm in height. On the Canadapost website it says Maximum 8.0inch/ 20mm so I'm pretty scared right now. If it doesnt fit through what do you guys reccomend me to do, which shipping option should I pick? If i choose shipping it as parcel the price will fly up to 10 dollars atleast. Someone please guide me, thank you for all your concerns!

Maximum measurements for an oversize letter or for light packet USA and International are 380 mm x 270 mm x 20 mm

If your package is thicker than 20mm and you are shipping within Canada, you could use expedited shipping in Canada (it is less expensive than regular parcel if you use Paypal shipping as there is a discount) and small packet air to other countries.

In the past I've seen a few posts about people sending packages through that were slightly over 20mm deep. I don't know how things worked out for them or how diligent the post office is about checking for packages like that.

I use a template pirchased from the post office that is 2cm thick so that I know if my packages are 2cm or under. When I used to measure them, there were a few times that I thought they were over the limit but they were actually a bit smaller.

"people sending packages through that were slightly over 20mm deep"

I did from time to time (in error, I should know better as I have a 20mm gauge) and many were returned to me by Canada Post - several weeks later - with a note to add postage. Some made it to destination.

Same happened with a few letters under 50g sent lettermail or letterpost but thicker than 5mm. Many were also returned - weeks later - asking for additional postage (to the 100g rate which allows up to 20mm).

Not worth gambling if you believe in providing superior customer service..
