How to use this tool
A decision, not just an output
Check package length, girth, volume, and USPS-oriented threshold warnings. Read the output alongside its interpretation, assumptions, limitations, and source. Marketplace rates and external requirements should always be confirmed at the linked official source.
Formula & example
