Parcels any greater than the maximum shipping dimensions may be refused by most major delivery companies. These companies (USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc.) can ship large, heavy items within the restrictions. However, they will charge a premium to do so.\u00a0They may also add surcharges for irregularly sized or unusual items.\u00a0Before shipping your item through traditional means, get a quote for the parcel by posting a listing on uShip<\/a>. Often, a driver with extra space can offer you huge savings to accommodate your parcel while traveling in the same direction. This is ideal for large parcels or parcels that do not meet the\u00a0strict weight and size restrictions below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

While FedEx, DHL, UPS and USPS may transport items within the parcel weight restrictions, you can save major money by shipping your parcel with uShip.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Big packages cost a lot to ship, even if they fit within the maximum shipping dimensions mandated by traditional shipping companies. Be prepared to pay a price premium for large, heavy, or irregular packages shipped with UPS, USPS, FedEx or DHL.<\/p>\n

Or, you could post a listing to uShip.com and ship anything, anytime, anywhere.
