SHIPPING MAILING TUBES NOT POSSIBLE WITH PAYPAL?

[forester_studios]

Does anyone know if it is possible to ship a poster in a mailing tube to the USA  using paypal labels?  It says "invalid dimensions" when I try to print a label.

 The work around is to fudge the the numbers. At least that is what I do under similar situations.

Xpresspost - USA & Expedited Parcel - USA  
Dimension Standards:

MINIMUM SIZE
210 mm x 140 mm x 1 mm
MAXIMUM SIZE
Length = 1.52 m
Length + Girth = 2.74 m

Small Packet™ – USA
Dimension Standards:
MINIMUM SIZE
140 mm x 90 mm x 1 mm
MAXIMUM SIZE
Any dimension 60 cm
Length + width + height =
90 cm

The tube measures 67cm by 8cm by 8cm.  Not sure how I could "Fudge" the numbers to print a label through paypal.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

You would have to send it Expedited , at the least based on size, and then all you do is simply change your middle dimension to 14 cm to adhere to the min for that service. You're too big in length to go Tracked packet.You can get away with upsizing but not downsizing your dimensions to fit. The bad thing is that Expedited will be stupid expensive if there is any significant weight to the package and it is traveling far.

The mailing tube is an extra charge, right?

Try adding a Handling Charge for the cost of the tube. Then print out the label as usual. It does not show the postage.

Tape it on the tube and Robert is your mother's brother.

Very cute - never heard it put that way before!  Thanks for the "smile-of-the-day".

Good timing for the thread.  I have a long, skinny lightish package.  86cm x 8 cm x 8 cm and from the Canada Post site it is $21 expedited.  Of course I want the Ebay discount, but Paypal says invalid dimensions. 

Any delivery issues for delivery with the work around, as long as the correct or better postage is used?   I can pack it as a tube or box, with Expedited there is room to make it a bit bigger package.

Simply put 67 x 16 x 8, and it will accept for 100%.
