Additional Charges
Some carriers and services require additional charges applied based on shipment characteristics. It's important to consider these for proper cost planning.
Quotes will display additional charges applied by carriers, including:
| Charge | Description |
|---|---|
| Fuel Surcharge | Variable surcharge applied based on current fuel prices. |
| Peak Season | Additional charge during high-demand periods (e.g., Black Friday, Christmas). |
| Overweight | Applied when the package exceeds the service's standard maximum weight. |
| Oversize | Applied when package dimensions exceed established limits. |
| Extended Area | Charge for deliveries to remote or hard-to-reach locations. |
| Special Handling | For packages requiring special care during transport. |
Recommendations:
- Review the complete breakdown of the quote before confirming your shipment.
- Validate dimensions and weight of your packages to avoid unexpected overweight or oversize charges.
- Plan peak season shipments in advance to account for rate increases.
- Check extended area coverage if you frequently ship to rural or remote areas.
Important: Consider these charges in your pricing structure to offer a transparent experience to your customers and avoid operational issues.
