[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 3168817, member: 2193"] It's true. Those packages over 8 feet and length, over 70 pounds and over 130" in length plus girth take a lot of extra handling so if customers want UPS to handle them, they are going to be paying quite a bit more. If a package is found in the system that is over 150 pounds and over the max 165" length plus girth size limit, the shipper will be charged $500. Clearly, the message to the customer is, compensate UPS for the extra work involved in handling these shipments or call an LTL carrier to handle them. Most LTL carriers have minimum charges that start around $80-$90 plus they charge quite a bit more for delivering to a residence so there are not any bargains in that world. FedEx is introducing similar charges on these large shipments as well. Effective December 24, 2017 The Large Package Surcharge will apply to any U.S. Domestic package with a length exceeding 96 inches or a length plus girth greater than 130 inches. The surcharge will be $80 [B]The Over Maximum Limits charge will be $500. [/B] The following changes will be effective July 8, 2018: [LIST=1] [*]The Large Package Surcharge for any U.S. Domestic package delivered to a residential address will be $90. [*]The Additional Handling surcharge for any U.S. Domestic package exceeding 70 pounds in actual weight will be $19.00.
