All dimensions are maximums — an item over any one limit moves up to the next format. Tubes and rolled items: max length 90cm, and length plus twice the diameter no more than 104cm. Bigger or heavier than a Medium Parcel? That’s a Parcelforce job (up to 1.5m and 30kg). International letters and large letters use the same sizes as UK; international parcels up to 2kg must be no longer than 60cm with length + width + depth no more than 90cm — limits for heavier international parcels vary by destination.
