Frequently asked questions
When you send relatively small parcels of less than 150 lbs, it's typically classed as small parcel delivery. Small parcel delivery can be completed by a variety of last-mile transportation methods, including ground shipping, air shipping, or even by bicycle or motorcycle in urban areas.
The best delivery service for small packages depends on several factors, including the package size and weight, delivery location, required delivery time frame, and sender's budget. Some of the most popular and reliable small package delivery service providers are USPS (United States Postal Service), UPS (United Parcel Service), FedEx, and DHL. We provide access to all of these services via GEODIS MyParcel.
The small parcel measurements may vary based on the carrier and service being used. Examples of maximum small parcel dimensions are as follows:
- USPS Priority Mail: Maximum parcel weight up to 70 lbs, length up to 108 inches, length & girth combined up to 130 inches
- UPS small package: Weight up to 150 lbs, length up to 108 inches, length & girth combined up to 165 inches
- FedEx small package: Weight up to 150 lbs, length up to 108 inches, length & girth combined up to 165 inches
Here's how to track a small parcel delivery:
- Get your unique tracking number from the carrier or shipping provider
- Go to the carriers website/app
- Enter your tracking number
- Check the delivery status
- Sign up for delivery notifications and real-time updates
GEODIS MyParcel provides centralized and transparent tracking for any provider we work with.

Yes, small parcels can be delivered internationally. The shipping time, cost, & specific requirements for international small parcel delivery may vary depending on the destination country, carrier, or shipping provider used.
When shipping small parcels internationally, it's important to be aware of customs requirements, additional documentation, or restrictions that may apply. Alternatively, just partner with a logistics company like GEODIS for end-to-end management of small parcel delivery.
Choose the best small parcel delivery service based on your specific shipping needs, carrier options, and budget:
- List your shipping requirements including the size and weight of the package, destination country, delivery confirmation, and insurance needs.
- Research carriers and delivery options, considering factors such as shipping time, cost, reliability, and customer service.
- Check for additional fees, such as surcharges for oversized goods, or restrictions on certain item types.
GEODIS MyParcel will seek out the best carriers for your parcels to deliver your products quickly and at a reasonable rate.
A “Tax and Duty” calculator shows the total amount that will be charged to your customer, also known as the “Total Landed Cost.”
GEODIS MyParcel calculates and clearly shows the total shipping fees, taxes, and duties for your customer’s order. Typically, duties, fees, and taxes are determined based on the product type, order value, country of origin, and the final country of destination.
Depending on the country, other terms may be used to refer to duties and taxes. For example, in the EU, tax is referred to as Value Added Tax (VAT).
We pick up parcels every working day, Monday through Friday, at the agreed pick-up time. We don’t pick up parcels on national or regional holidays. Our normal cut-off time for pick-up is 4:00 pm (16:00) local time. Depending on your shipment volume and location, we may be able to offer different pickup times.
No, once your parcels arrive at GEODIS, we process them for export. We’ll then arrange for them to be sent to the destination country on the same or the next business day. There’s no minimum quota, volume, or value that you need to meet.
