Questions people ask about this
What happens if my parcel is over the limit?
It depends how far over. Most carriers have a band above the standard limit where they accept the parcel but add an oversize or additional-handling surcharge, and a hard limit above which they refuse it or reroute it to freight pricing. The surcharge is frequently larger than the base shipping cost.
Why does my box get surcharged when it is under the weight limit?
Size limits and weight limits are separate tests, and additional handling can be triggered by length alone, by the packaging material, or by the parcel not being a regular rectangle. A long, light item like a curtain pole is a classic case.
