Pack your parcel for transport. Greyhound recommends leaving the package open if possible, since the company has the discretion to inspect the package contents. To comply with this recommendation, pack your parcel in a sturdy container. Complete your packaging up until the final step of taping the package closed. Greyhound will make tape available to you to close your package.
Weigh your package to ensure it complies with bus parcel weight restrictions. Greyhound will ship a package that is a maximum of 100 pounds. If your package weighs more than 100 pounds, divide it into two or more parcels.
Measure your package to make sure it complies with the size restrictions for bus shipment. Greyhound will not accept packages that exceed a size of 30 by 47 by 82 inches.
Address your package with the recipient's mailing information. If your package is fragile or perishable, clearly mark the parcel with the appropriate label. Alternatively, write the word "fragile" or "perishable" as applicable in large block letters on the package.
Bring your parcel to your local Greyhound PackageXpress location. If there is no separate counter for Greyhound parcels or if that counter is closed, bring your parcel to the Greyhound ticket counter to process your shipment. Pay the cost of your requested service and leave your package with Greyhound agents.
