Rated Weight Calculation Explained
Rated weight will be based on the greater of both actual weight and dimensional weight.
The formula to calculate dimensional weight is (Length * Width * Height)/139, (Length, Width and Height are all measured in inches) the resulting value is measured in lbs.
The closer the actual weight and dimensional weight is, the more cost efficient the shipment is. (There will be additional fees for packages with actual weight over 70 lbs.)。
For Exmaple:
i.e. The dimensional weight of a 18x18x16 box is 38 lbs. If the actual weight of the box is 20 lbs, the weight used to calculate shipping is 38 lbs.
i.e. The dimensional weight of 24x18x18 box is 56 lbs. If the actual weight is 62 lbs, the weight used to calculate the shipping cost is 62 lbs.
Additional Fees for Irregular Packages
* Packages dimension is restricted to length + width x 2 + height x 2 less than 130 inches，and longest side less than 108 inches
* Please avoid below weight and size. There will be significant fees for oversize packages, and some oversize packages are not shippable. Please use actual price quoted.
- Weight equal or over 70 lbs
- Longest side equal or over 48 inches
- The second longest side equal or over 30 inches
- Irregular non-rectangular packages (such as luggage, bags, wood boards, and other irregular shapes).
- Shipments with declared value over $2500
