M&P My Box Rates & Flyer Packaging Guidelines

How to choose the right M&P packing, how box size affects the price and how to protect your items on the way.

Topic: M&P My Box and My FlyerAvailable: 750+ courier centres

Direct Answer

M&P offers My Flyer plastic bags for documents and flat items, and My Box cardboard cartons in set sizes for parcels, at its 750+ courier centres. Charges use the higher of the real weight or the volumetric weight (length x width x height in cm, divided by 5,000).

1. M&P Packing Options: My Flyer vs My Box

Good packing protects your items from knocks, weight from other parcels and rain. M&P sells two types of packing at its more than 750 courier centres:

My Flyer Bags

Plastic flyer bags for documents and flat items, such as contracts, certificates and light clothes.

  • Good for papers and flat items
  • Seals closed before sending
  • Ask at the counter which sizes are available
My Box Cartons

Cardboard cartons in set sizes, for parcels such as shoes, electronics, gifts and clothes.

  • Stronger protection than a bag
  • Set sizes make the size weight easy to work out
  • Ask at the counter which sizes are available

2. Which Packing to Choose

We could not confirm the exact sizes, weight limits or prices of M&P packing. Use this as a simple guide and check at the counter:

My BoxBoxed parcels, such as shoes, electronics and giftsSet sizes; ask at the counter for sizes and prices

Note: We could not confirm packing prices. Ask your local courier centre what is available and what it costs.

3. How Volumetric Weight Is Worked Out (L x W x H / 5000)

Light but bulky items, such as pillows or soft toys, can cost more than you expect. That is because M&P also counts the size of the box, not just its weight.

M&P Volumetric Weight Formula

Volumetric Weight = (Length × Width × Height in centimeters) / 5,000

Measure the outside of the box, including any bulges or extra wrapping.

Example:

For example, a box of shawls measuring 40 cm long, 30 cm wide and 25 cm high.

  • Weight on the scale: 2.5 kg
  • Volumetric weight: (40 × 30 × 25) ÷ 5,000 = 30,000 ÷ 5,000 = 6.0 kg
  • Weight you pay for: 6.0 kg (you pay for the higher figure)

To keep the price down, choose the smallest box that fits your items with enough padding.

4. Tips for Packing Documents in My Flyer

My Flyer bags are handy, but pack them carefully so documents stay safe:

Add card to keep certificates flat:Papers can bend on the way. Put a piece of stiff card in the bag to keep degrees, contracts and photos flat.
Do not overfill the bag:If the bag will not close flat, move the items into a My Box carton instead.
Keep hard items out of flyers:Tools, electronics with sharp corners and glass can tear the plastic. Put these in a box.

5. How to Pack Fragile Items and Electronics

Parcels travel long distances and pass through several hubs. Good padding inside helps them arrive safely:

Wrap each item:

Wrap each fragile item separately in bubble wrap. Do not let glass or china items touch each other.

Fill the empty space:

Items that move around can break. Fill gaps with crumpled paper or air cushions.

Tape it well:

Use strong packing tape along the middle seam and both edges, on the top and the bottom, in an “H” shape.

Label clearly:

Put the address and phone number clearly on the top of the box. Put a copy inside the box too, just in case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do My Flyer bags and My Box cartons cost extra?
We could not confirm M&P's prices for My Flyer bags or My Box cartons. Ask at the courier centre counter when you book.
Will I pay for the real weight or the volumetric weight?
M&P charges by the higher of the two. Volumetric weight is length x width x height in centimetres, divided by 5,000. Staff weigh your parcel and measure the outside of the box.
What if my items are too heavy for a My Box size?
We could not confirm M&P's weight limits for each box. Ask the counter staff. They may suggest a bigger box or splitting the items into two parcels.
Can I send liquids, perfume or chemicals in a My Box?
We could not confirm M&P's list of banned items. Ask at the courier centre before you pack liquids, perfume, chemicals or food.
Can I use my own box instead of an M&P My Box?
We could not confirm M&P's rule. If you use your own box, make sure it is strong and taped on every seam, and ask at the counter first. The volumetric weight rule still applies.
