We do $100K/year with UPS, but we can't get our invoices mailed to us.

[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 581225, member: 4886"] Sometimes what can occur is that a customer creates a pkg that is just barely within the limits of dim weights etc. (3 cubic ft for ground). But air doesn't have the limit. Also, what has been seen before, is a pkg like this is used but not fully utilized, the box actually gets crushed a bit since no support and now although maybe a tad bit shorter, it's wider then original and now it's just over the limits. We have our scanners on the unload scanning the pkg for Len, Wid, Ht and I've seen them catch pkgs like this. There's a couple of options. 1. Does the customer need a box to this exact size? It would probably be better for all, if they left themselves a little more wiggle room. 2. If they do, then again the AE, can do stuff with their contract to minimize any impact of this, espescially for Dim wt etc. However, from what I've seen, usually the easiest fix for all is a smaller box. As most folks know a box too large either has a lot of air space that can lead to damage or a lot of dunnage is used to fill up the box, but this makes the pkg weight heavier and also not good for environment.
