We realize that the following information can become very technical if you have any questions feel free to call or e-mail us with them.
When measuring for large package conditions use the following formula:
Length + (2 x width) + (2 x Height)
(When determining any measurement round up to the nearest whole inch)
Weigh the package to obtain its actual weight
Irregularly Shaped Packages
Treat the irregularly shaped package as if it were in a regular rectangular box. Measure the length, width, and height of the package from its extreme points.
What are the weight and size limits for shipping through UPS?
There are no limits to the total weight or the total number of packages in your shipment. Shipments larger than the limits listed below will require the use of our UPS Freight services.
* Up to 150 lbs (70 kg).
* Up to 165 inches (419 cm) in length & girth combined.
* Up to 108 inches (270 cm) in length.
* Packages with a large size-to-weight ratio require special pricing and dimensional weight calculations.
Note: Packages that exceed UPS weight and size limits are subject to an Over Maximum Limits charge of $50. The limits listed above apply to most packages and destinations, but there are some variances.
What is dimensional weight?
Dimensional weight is used to determine the billable weight of a package. Dimensional weight is determined by calculating the cubic inches of your package. When a package is a large or awkward size, dimensional weight/billable weight is something that is used to account for the package taking up more space on the UPS trucks.
How To Measure the Cubic Size of Your Package
Calculate the cubic size of your package by multiplying Length x Width x Height. Round up each measurement to the nearest whole inch or centimeter. The resulting total is the cubic size of your package.
Calculating Dimensional Weight for Domestic Shipments
If you have more than one package to be shipped, consider each package a separate shipment for weight calculation purposes.
Determine Dimensional Weight:
* For UPS Ground Shipments: If the cubic size of the package is 5,184 or larger, divide the cubic size by 194 to determine dimensional weight in pounds. If the cubic size is less than 5,184, use the actual weight of the package.
* For UPS Air Shipments: Divide the cubic size by 194 to determine dimensional weight in pounds. Any fraction of a pound will be calculated at the next highest rate.
Use Dimensional Weight to Determine Billable Weight:
Compare each package’s actual weight to its dimensional weight. The larger of the two weights is the billable weight and should be used to calculate the rate.
Large Package Conditions
Your UPS domestic or UPS Standard package is considered a Large Package (with a charge of $45) when its length, combined with twice the width plus twice the height, exceeds 130 inches and is equal to or less than 165 inches.
* Large Packages are subject to a minimum billable weight of 90 pounds.
* To determine the rate for single-package shipments with a dimensional weight of 150 pounds or more, multiply the package weight by the price per pound multiplier.
