# Saved Parcels

> Save and manage frequently used parcel sizes

## Adding a Parcel

1. Go to **Settings > Saved Parcels**
2. Click **Add New Parcel**
3. Enter: name (e.g., "12x9x4 Mailer"), dimensions (L x W x H in inches), default weight (optional)
4. Click **Save**

<Note>
  Carriers rate packages using exterior dimensions. Always measure the outside of the box.
</Note>

## Using Saved Parcels

When creating a shipping label, click **Saved Parcels** in the parcel section and select a template. Dimensions (and default weight, if set) auto-populate.

***

## Editing and Deleting

* Go to **Settings > Saved Parcels**
* Click **Edit** to update dimensions, or **Delete** to remove a template

***

## Tips

* Use clear names with dimensions (e.g., `12x9x4 Mailer`, `6x4x3 Small Box`)
* Only save sizes you actually stock
* Update templates if you change box suppliers
* If rates look incorrect, re-measure the box and confirm dimensions

<Note>
  If you add or change parcel sizes and use [order-based rates](/shipping-rates/overview), you will need to [regenerate your rates](/shipping-rates/managing-shipping-rates) to keep checkout pricing accurate.
