Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAR : Parcel post

Parcel post is a type of shipping.

In the United States, parcel post is generally one of the most inexpensive ways to ship, and often one of the slower methods. It is often associated with heavier packages, although according to the United States Postal Service website, items mailed via parcel post can weigh up to 70 pounds. This system was started by US President William Howard Taft.
