How big can a letter "package" be?

Can I send a small package as a letter?

• Hi...I wanted to post some item on e-bay and well just in case someome buys it (first time seller) ... I have no idea how to send it, I mean the item is a ribbon bookmark...it has crystal beads but that doesn't even makes it heavy...it's actually pretty light, it's about 1 or 2 grams, so is it possible just to put it on a normal envelop as a letter and send it to someone for example in Canada? (I live in Canada) ...Do you have any idea how much is that going to cost me? Last time I got a small jade pendant and it said free shipping, then when it arrived it was sent on an envelop like a regular letter, tha's why I was wondering...can I also offer free shipping and then send it on a regular envelop? Or should I use one of those bubble envelops? Is it going to be the same cost and everything? lol sorry for all the questions it's just that I have no idea how this works, also...for international shipping should I use canada post or ups? Is it expensive? Anyone knows about all this? Thank U.

• Answer:

  Yes you can, but if you send it first class, you won't be able to get Delivery confirmation. Make sure to put it between 2 pieces of cardboard to make sure it doesn't get damaged.
