Size this new Priority Mail Shoe Box “EE” for extra-easy! Consumers are buying more clothing and accessories through the mail — and shoes are one of the hottest growing items in this category. The Postal Service is getting its foot in the door by offering the Priority Mail Shoe Box as a convenient way to ship or return shoes.

“This product offers a quick, easy and convenient solution for our customers in an important and growing market segment,” says Chief Marketing Officer Anita Bizzotto. “With the Priority Mail Shoe Box, one size does fit all.”

In the highly competitive direct-to-consumer market, the low cost and up-front pricing of Priority Mail gives shippers who use this product a way to provide more value to their customers. It’s estimated that on average the shoe box will ship for between $4.05 and $6.05 coast to coast.

“Having one large box that can accommodate all different sizes of shoes will make shipping easier for those of us who sell shoes by mail,” says Larry Gershberg, owner of aperfectdealer.com, which ships 200-300 boxes of shoes a day from its northern New Jersey store. “We love the look of the box and the convenience, and plan to move more of our business to the Postal Service because of its availability.”

The Priority Mail Shoe Box has been designed so that almost any brand and size of shoe box will slide right in. The box is durable and self-sealing and, as with all Priority Mail packaging, is available at no additional cost to Priority Mail shippers.

The new box will be available at usps.com/shippingsupplies in packs of 10 or call 1-800-610-8734 for larger orders.
