Important service considerations.
These details can affect eligibility, timing, documentation, or the final carrier charge.
Billable weight
Carriers may charge using actual or dimensional weight. Accurate packed dimensions help the quote reflect the shipment you hand over.
Extra handling
Oversized, irregular, or insufficiently packaged parcels may receive additional carrier handling charges after pickup.
Cross-border documents
International goods usually require customs information. Document-only shipments may follow different requirements.
