Parcel Post Size, Weight Limits Increased WASHINGTON - President Johnson Tuesday signed legislation that will double the weight and increase by a foot the limits on packages that may go between distant first class cities by parcel post. The legislation also increases parcel post rates on the average of two cents a package. The measure, designed to reduce a burgeoning parcel post deficit since size and weight limits were cut back in the 1950’5, will not take full effect or five years. At the’ end of that period, parcels mailed between first class cities 150 miles or farther apart may be as heavy as 40 pounds and as big as 84 “combined” inches. The present limts between distant large cities are 20 pounds and 72 inches. The weight limit will go to 25 pounds next July 1, to 30 pounds a year later, and to 40 pounds July 1, 1969. The size limits will increase to 78 inches July 1. 1970, and to 84 inches on July 1. 1971. The present limits of 70 pounds and 100 inches on parcel post mailed between smaller cities or rural points is unchanged by the new law.
