What happens if you underestimate shipping weight?
If your parcel weight is more than what is stated on the shipping label, most courier companies will issue a surcharge for the overweight package or send it back to the pick-up address.
Can you lie about package weight?
In most cases, NO. The greatest chance the package will be weighed is when it is accepted at the post office. Many postal workers can pick up a package and tell you have much is weighs so if something feels off, they might toss it on the scale. I have asked people at the sorting centers and they don’t weigh them.
What happens if your package is slightly overweight?
If it’s heavier, you’ll most likely want Priority Mail®; otherwise, you could be inadvertently underpaying the amount of postage due. If that happens, the package may come back to you, requiring it to be reshipped (and delaying delivery time), or the customer may be liable for paying the difference in postage.
