Parcel dimensions are a practical way to classify incoming deliveries by size. Whether you're handling standard envelopes, medium-sized boxes, or oversized freight, you can assign a dimension to each parcel as it is logged into the system, keeping your records organized and easy to filter.
Parcel Tracker includes a set of default dimensions — Large Letter, Medium, and Small — to cover the most common parcel sizes. If your organization handles items outside these categories, you can easily create custom dimensions to match your needs directly through the web platform. For example, you could add Extra Large for oversized boxes or A4 for standard document-sized deliveries.
Only Owners and Admin users can create and manage parcel dimensions. To learn more about mailroom user access, feel free to check the full list of mailroom users and their permissions here.
