International Priority Airmail (IPA)

International Priority Airmail

International Priority Airmail (IPA) is a USPS commercial service for volume mailings of all First-Class Mail International postcards, letters, and large envelopes (flats) and small packets. IPA shipments are typically flown to the foreign destinations and entered into that country’s air or surface priority mail system.  As a result, worldwide delivery is 3-10 days as US First Class Airmail at bulk mail prices.

The maximum weight for an individual IPA item is as follows:

a.     Letter-size item: 3.5 ounces.

b.    Flat-size item: 17.6 ounces.

c.     Package-size item: 4.4 pounds.

International Surface Airlift

International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) service, including ISAL M-bags, is a commercial service designed for volume mailings.

The sender must prepare mail pieces in accordance with the requirements of the USPS International Mail Manual   ISAL shipments are typically then entered into the destination country’s surface nonpriority mail system for delivery.
