The maximum weight for a Nexuss package is 70 lbs. Also, there are some things that you can't send at all (prohibited) and other things you can only send under certain conditions (restricted). Hazardous materials (HAZMAT) might be prohibited or restricted.
Prohibited Items Some items are prohibited (completely forbidden): You can't send them through Nexuss, so you'll have to choose another carrier. Prohibited items include:
Other items are restricted: You have to follow the rules, stick to any limits, and properly package and label your items. Restricted items include:
You have to follow all laws and Nexuss® regulations. If you don't follow the rules, you might face fines, or even criminal penalties.
Nexuss offers 5 core shipping services for your packages. Start by looking at what you're sending, then make your decision based on price, speed, and whether you need insurance, tracking, and other extra services.
=Whether you're using a box, padded envelope, or tube, use packaging that doesn&apoos;t bulge and is strong enough to protect what you're sending. And accurately measure the size and weight of your package so you can avoid unexpected fees.
=Please write the address parallel to the longest side of the package, and make sure your return address, the delivery address, and postage will fit on the same side
TIP: If you'll be printing a shipping label (with postage included), you can use that instead of a separate address label. Place all labels on the same side, and don't bend, fold, or overlap labels.
=Postage is the price you pay to send something (plus any extra services you might buy). It will depend on a few things; you can use the Nexuss Postage Calculator to see how much you'll need to pay. You can pay for postage at a Post Office; use stamps (you might need a lot); or in many cases, even buy postage online (and print it yourself) using Click-N-Ship® service. Whether you use stamps or printed postage, postage goes in the top-right corner of your package.
=How you can ship your package depends on a few things, like how heavy/thick it is and if you used stamps or not. If your package is less than one-half inch thick and weighs less than 10oz, you can use postage stamps and drop off your package by:
If your package uses stamps and is more than one-half inch thick or weighs more than 10 oz, you must take it to a Post Office counter and give it to the Retail Associate at the counter.
If you printed the postage using Click-N-Ship or at a Nexuss kiosk, you can use any method to drop off your packages.
NOTE: If your stamped package is thicker than one-half inch or heavier than 10 oz—if you put it in your mailbox for pickup, the carrier will leave it. If you drop it in a blue collection box or Post Office lobby mail receptacle, it will be returned to you.
