Chances are if you have been shipping packages for more than a few years, you might not even be aware of the changes to the pricing system for a parcel. In 1997, shape-based pricing was introduced. It used to be that all parcel shipping prices were assessed by a weight-based calculation system. It used to be that sending an oddly shaped parcel like a guitar case would cost the same amount as a small rectangular parcel carrying the same amount of weight. Since the concept of Dimensional weight has been adopted worldwide, you could pay a lot more for that area. The cost of shipping smaller lightweight parcels has increased dramatically as well.
The day-to-day concern with accepting parcels is that they must be packaged well enough to protect their contents and strong enough to prevent the package from breaking and causing injury to employees or damage to other mail. Most people send normal items: documents, clothing, toys, etc. There are times when questions might arise about what can be sent and how.
