Parcel Post replaced by Standard Post?
Feb 28, 2013 12:26 PM

I have heard on eBay that Parcel Post is being replaced by Parcel Select and I noticed that it just showed up as an option on eBay.  However, when I went to the post office today, they told me that Parcel Post was renamed Standard Post and that Parcel Select was something else.  I think that Standard Post is what I want to use.  Can someone help me figure this out?

Thanks

Parcel Post has been replaced by Standard Post at the retail post office counter and Parcel Select is paid via online postage.

 

eBay is displaying Parcel Select but that will NOT be available on ebay until sometime in March.  No definiite date announced.

 

Depending on the weight and destination, sometimes Priority is just a few cents different than Standard Post.  Compare at http://postcalc.usps.gov/
