Title: OS shipping weight limits?
Post by: cantellya on March 19, 2013, 06:54 pm
Hello kind folk,
I am about to place an order of 10g+ of MDMA from the EU (not the Netherlands). (USA resident here.)  The last package came in 2 weeks and there was no issue, however it was only 5G.

Is there a weight limit for letters going through EU/US customs for letter sized envelopes? Should I request that the vendor split the shipment into two orders?

Please advise. Thanks! 8)

In Canada a standard lettermail can be up to 30 grams.

No problem. If you check your local shipping (USPS?) it could probably give some more information in this regard. But I doubt 10 grams should be a problem at all. Glad to help.

I have a package arriving in Canada shortly that's more like 100g (classed as "large letter" in the UK).
Likely to cause issues?

Nope your probably fine, Canada also has a oversize lettermail option that can be up to 500 grams. I am guessing this is synonymous with the UK "Large letter". Here is some shipping info for reference, I follow this when sending all lettermail and have had no issues.


Standard Letter-Post   Non-standard and Oversize Letter-Post
0-50g                                                  up to 500g


If shipping domestic there is also a medium lettermail option which covers 20-50 g, however the only difference is that it offers cheaper pricing.
