Transporting and Shipping Options
Oversized Package
Oversized Package refers to a case that is considered oversized by UPS and FedEx if the case has a length (longest side) exceeding 96 in. or has an overall size that exceeds 130 in. The formula used to determine the overall size is Length + Width x 2 + Height x 2. There is a shipping surcharge for oversized packages that will raise the price over the standard rate. A minimum weight of 90 lbs. would apply to the charge. Always check the carrier’s oversized package policy for exact limits.
Oversized Checked Baggage
Oversized Checked Baggage refers to cases that can be checked on the airlines but could incur oversize fees. Typically oversize fees can be applied to cases between 50-100 lbs and between 63-126 inches overall. Overall dimensions of the case are determined by adding the length, width and height together. Always check your airline’s specific policy, as size and weight limits can vary by carrier and route.
