What is the size limit for priority mail?

72 inches
108 inches
130 inches
150 inches

The correct answer is: 108 inches

The size limit for Priority Mail is defined as the maximum combined length and girth of a package. In this context, length is the longest side of the package, and girth is calculated by adding the distance around the thickest part of the package (which is typically the height plus the width, multiplied by two). For Priority Mail, the correct limit is a combined maximum of 108 inches. This means that when you calculate the length and girth of a package, it should not exceed this total measurement. This specification helps to ensure that items can be processed and delivered efficiently within the postal network. The other specified limits do not align with the official guidelines for Priority Mail, as 72 inches pertains to different USPS services, while 130 inches and 150 inches exceed the maximum allowable size for Priority Mail. Understanding these limitations is essential for shipping packages correctly and avoiding additional fees or delays.
