Rates for Parcel Post Shipments
Your Postmaster will tell you the parcel post zone in which your postoffice is located, measuring from Chicago.
All merchandise shipped by mail takes parcel post rates. Packages up to 4 ounces in weight are carried at the rate of 1 cent an ounce, regardless of distance. Packages over 4 ounces are charged for by the pound. The rate per pound varies according to the distance, which is measured by the Government zone system, each zone covering a certain number of miles from point of shipment. Distances and rates are shown in the table below. Packages carried by parcel post are handled just like any other mail matter. They are delivered to your box by your rural mail carrier if you live on a rural route, or delivered to your door if you live in a city where there is carrier service, or delivered to your local postoffice if you live where there is no carrier service.
