<p><b>Parcel post</b> is a postal service for <a href="Mail" title="Mail">mail</a> that is too heavy for normal letter post. It is usually slower than letter post. The development of the parcel post is closely connected with the development of the <a href="Railways" class="mw-redirect" title="Railways">railway network</a> which enabled parcels to be carried in bulk, to a regular schedule, and at economical prices. Today, many parcels also travel by road and international shipments may travel by sea or <a href="Airmail" title="Airmail">airmail</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development_of_domestic_parcel_posts">Development of domestic parcel posts</h2></div>

<p>The idea of a parcel post may be credited to Germany, where the growth of railways had brought uniform postal rates throughout Germany and Austria in 1857. The practice of forwarding parcels with the mail, however, had been in use in Austria since the seventeenth century and in some German states is said to date to the fifteenth century. In the first year after the establishment of the domestic parcel post in Germany (1874), 38,862,654 parcels were carried, rising to 62,946,100 by 1881.<sup id="cite_ref-jones_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jones-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The international parcel service, which allowed the orderly shipment of mailed packages and parcels from one country to another according to predetermined rates, was established by the <a href="Universal_Postal_Union" title="Universal Postal Union">Universal Postal Union</a> on 1 October 1881 (Great Britain, India, The Netherlands and Persia, 1 April 1882), following the agreement of 1880 in Paris during a three-week conference on the subject.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The service was difficult to introduce as in several countries the carriage of parcels was a monopoly of the railway companies, and Egypt, Great Britain, India, Canada and Italy all initially claimed that there was no parcel service in their country.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The British domestic parcel post service was established on 1 August 1883.<sup id="cite_ref-jones_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jones-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="Commonwealth_of_Nations" title="Commonwealth of Nations">Commonwealth</a> and foreign parcel post services were also established. The eight Australasian colonies (South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, New Zealand, British New Guinea and Fiji) and the other separate postal services of the colonies joined the UPU in 1891. By 1909/10, over 118 million parcels annually were being carried in the U.K., around 2.5% of which were international.<sup id="cite_ref-jones_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-jones-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>The United States, as a signatory, started foreign parcel services in 1887<sup id="cite_ref-parcel1_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-parcel1-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but did not institute domestic services until 1913.<sup id="cite_ref-sil1_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sil1-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The USPS, successor to the U.S. Post Office, officially ended International Parcel Post service in May 2007 after some 120 years of existence. International Parcel Post service was replaced by First-class Mail International service for parcels up to four pounds. For heavier parcels and/or printed matter, Priority Mail International, Priority Mail International Flat-Rate, Express Mail International, and Airmail M-Bags, is available to foreign countries allowing these types of mail delivery.

</p><p>USPS Domestic Parcel Post was an affordable method of sending large parcels of up to seventy pounds and a maximum combined length and girth of one hundred and thirty inches via ground transportation across the U.S.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Effective January 27, 2013, the USPS renamed its parcel post service from 'Parcel Post' to 'Standard Post'.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>USPS Standard Post 1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>USPS Standard Post 2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Effective January 17, 2016, the USPS renamed the service again, from "Standard Post" to "USPS Retail Ground", a name intended to resemble those of competing services UPS Ground and FedEx Ground.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Private_couriers">Private couriers</h3></div>

<p>Private <a href="Couriers" class="mw-redirect" title="Couriers">couriers</a> have existed since goods first needed to be transported from place to place. Before the development of state-run parcel posts, many <a href="Stagecoach" title="Stagecoach">stagecoach</a> and railway companies had a thriving parcel service and private companies continue to run their own delivery networks today through firms like <a href="FedEx_Express" title="FedEx Express">FedEx Express</a> or <a href="DHL_Express" class="mw-redirect" title="DHL Express">DHL Express</a>, even owning their own aircraft for long distance deliveries. Numerous smaller firms provide domestic and international courier services.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Road_transport_services">Road transport services</h2></div>

<p>Before the development of the railway network, road transport was the principal means of parcel transport.
