WHAT IS SMALL PACKAGE SHIPPING?

 

Small package shipping, also known as parcel shipping, is the shipping of goods or packages under the weight of 150lbs. These smaller packages can be shipped using less than truckload freight or by a local courier, such as UPS or FedEx. These local couriers typically have arranged, daily pickups that have length, girth, and weight limits. If the package exceeds this, shipping on freight will need to be arranged.
