The shipping weight limit on Poshmark is 16 pounds for domestic shipping.

To ensure you don't exceed this limit, it's essential to accurately calculate the weight of your items before listing them.

For packages weighing 16 pounds or less, Poshmark offers a flat rate shipping fee.

This flat rate fee is currently $7.11 for domestic shipping.

Shipping Weight Limit

You can ship boxes heavier than five pounds on Poshmark, but you'll need to request a shipping label upgrade. This upgrade is available through the account tab by selecting "my sales" and finding the relevant order.

The standard shipping label is only good for one package of up to five pounds. If your package is heavier than that, you'll need to pay the extra costs for the overage.

There's a charge per pound for the overage, which you'll need to pay out of pocket. This means you'll have to cover the additional costs for shipping a heavier package.

The highest shipping weight allowed by Poshmark for one sale is ten pounds. If a buyer places a bulk order that will be heavier than this, you'll need to create more than one sale for them.

Poshmark charges extra costs for packages that exceed five pounds. The site follows a specific scheme for calculating these extra costs, but the exact details aren't provided in the information available.

Label Generation and Upgrade

You can generate and upgrade shipping labels on Poshmark for items that weigh over 5 pounds. To do this, you'll need to create a new shipping label that reflects the correct weight of your item.

In the Poshmark app, go to your "Account tab" and select the order that needs a new shipping label. From there, click "Need New Shipping Label" and choose "Need Heavier Weight Label" from the drop-down menu.

The cost of shipping an item over 5 pounds on Poshmark varies depending on the carrier, package size, and delivery speed. If you're unsure about the weight of your items, consider investing in a postal weighing scale for accurate measurements.

To generate a new shipping label, type the total weight of the parcel and click "Next". Then, select "Send New Label" and wait for the new label to be sent to your email.

Here's a step-by-step guide to generating a new shipping label:

  1. Go to your Poshmark "Account tab"
  2. Click "My Sales" and select the order that needs a new shipping label
  3. Click "Need New Shipping Label"
  4. From the drop-down menu, select "Need Heavier Weight Label"
  5. Type the total weight of the parcel and click "Next"
  6. Select "Send New Label"

Be mindful of the actual shipping weight of your item, as your customer will be charged for any excess on the shipping fee. This can harm your shop's reputation and credibility.
