For parcels that originate and destinate in the same BMC service area.
Parcels that measure in combined length and girth:

More than 84 inches but not more than 108 inches, and the piece weighs less than 15 pounds, use 15‑pound rates (balloon rate).
More than 108 inches but not more than 130 inches, use oversized rates regardless of weight.

Machinable parcels may be eligible for barcoded discount of $0.03 per parcel (50-piece minimum).
Regardless of weight, a parcel that meets any of the criteria in 101.7.2 (for retail) or 401.2.3.2 (for discount) must pay the nonmachinable rate.
Rates include the $1.42 nonmachinable surcharge. The nonmachinable surcharge does not apply to parcels mailed at oversized rates or parcels sent with special handling.

For parcels that destinate to different BMC service areas (see 153.1.1).
Parcels that measure in combined length and girth:

More than 84 inches but not more than 108 inches, and the piece weighs less than 15 pounds, use 15‑pound rates (balloon rate).
More than 108 inches but not more than 130 inches, use oversized rates regardless of weight.

Machinable parcels may be eligible for barcoded discount of $0.03 per parcel (50-piece minimum).
Regardless of weight, a parcel that meets any of the criteria in 101.7.2 (for retail) or 401.2.3.2 (for discount) must pay the nonmachinable rate.
Rates include the $2.90 nonmachinable surcharge. The nonmachinable surcharge does not apply to parcels mailed at oversized rates or parcels sent with special handling.
