Shipping with USPS Priority Mail Express International is an excellent option if you’re looking for fast, reliable, and cost-effective shipping to over 190 countries across the world.

What is USPS Priority Mail Express International?

This popular USPS service allows you to send packages that weigh up to 70 pounds with a maximum combined length and girth of 108 inches to many different countries (note, however, that some have lower weight limits in effect).

Delivery typically takes 3-5 business days, depending upon the local postal service in your destination country. With USPS Priority Mail Express International, USPS passes shipments off at the border, and the postal service of the destination country takes over from there to handle the final delivery.

Within this service, there are flat rate and variable rate options available, with discounted weight-based pricing through Shippo starting at $42.85, and flat rate pricing starting at just $27.10. Three different types of Priority Mail Express International Flat Rate products — all of which have a maximum weight of 4 pounds — are available, including:

• Flat Rate Envelope: 12 1/2″ x 9 1/2″

• Legal Flat Rate Envelope: 15″ x 9 1/2″

• Padded Flat Rate Envelope: 12 1/2″ x 9 1/2″

Variable rate pricing, on the other hand, is based on the weight of the package and the destination country. As you might imagine, the more the package weighs and the further it’s being shipped, the more it will cost.
