The Dimensions of UPS Drop Boxes Explained

These boxes aren't designed to accommodate large items, and if your package is larger than these dimensions, it won't fit inside the box. The opening of the box is around 16″ x 11,” and any package that does not fit through this opening will not fit inside the box.

Packages can be up to 150 lbs. Packages can be up to 165 inches in length and girth combined. Packages can be up to 108 inches in length. Packages with a large size-to-weight ratio require special pricing and dimensional weight calculations.

Packages should not be left outside the drop box. Bring packages too large for the drop box to the counter at a FedEx location near you. Choose from thousands of FedEx Office, FedEx Ship Center, FedEx Authorized ShipCenter, Walgreens, Dollar General, and grocery locations nationwide.

What is the difference between UPS and UPS Ground? ›

Though these two UPS® services are very similar, there's one key difference. With UPS® Ground shipping, you can ship to all 50 US states and Puerto Rico. With UPS® Standard shipping, however, you can only ship to the 48 continental US states, along with Canada and Mexico.

Amazon is shifting away from UPS and other carriers as it works to build its own logistics empire, in part to gain greater control over transit times and the end-customer's delivery experience. Meanwhile, UPS has chased growth in segments outside of e-commerce in order to boost its profit margins.

How long does it take to ship with USPS Priority? USPS Priority is typically faster at shipping items than UPS Ground, with typical delivery windows being 1-3 business days. USPS Priority Mail Express can offer even faster delivery in as little as 2 business days.
