Cubic Pricing with Endicia

Cubic rates are ideal for small, heavy packages since the pricing is based on the volume of the package instead of the weight. Any package that measures 0.50 cubic feet or less and is 20 pounds or less is eligible.

To receive cubic rates in ShipEngine:

  1. Choose a USPS domestic Priority service.

  2. Enter the package weight & dimensions.

ShipEngine will automatically apply the Cubic rate whenever it's cheaper than the Priority rate. For more details about Stamps.com cubic rates, please contact your Stamps.com account representative.
