Understanding Oversized and Overweight Charges in Our DDP Service

Here's a breakdown of how these charges apply to our DDP service:
Oversize Charges:
- Dimensional Thresholds: Your package will incur oversize charges if any one side exceeds 120 cm. An additional fee is applied if the second dimension is 72 cm or more.
- Girth Calculation: Girth is calculated by adding the two shorter dimensions together and then doubling that sum. If the total girth surpasses 260 cm, an oversize charge is added. Packages with a combined length and girth exceeding 410 cm are classified as unusually large, requiring special handling and potentially higher fees.
Overweight Charges:
- Minimum Billable Weight: For packages weighing less than 12 KG, you'll be billed as if the weight were 12 KG.
- Standard Weigh Range: The standard rate applies to packages weighing between 12 KG and 22 KG.
- Additional Fees for Heavy Packages: Expect extra charges on packages exceeding 22 KG, as they require additional handling.
Delivery Restrictions:
- High-Floor Deliveries: Due to labor and equipment limitations, delivery of large or heavy packages to higher floors in residential areas may not be possible. This restriction is particularly relevant in buildings without elevators or where the elevator capacity is insufficient.
Guidelines and Carrier Policies:
- Carrier-Specific Policies: These guidelines are established by carrier companies, such as UPS, FedEx, and DHL, and not by Global Vertical. However, as your logistics partner, we strive to communicate these policies clearly to help you anticipate and manage shipping costs effectively.
- Stay Informed: It's important to note that carrier policies, including dimensional and weight thresholds, are subject to change. We recommend checking the latest carrier updates or consulting with our team for the most current information.
By understanding these charges, you can better plan your shipments and avoid unexpected costs. At Global Vertical, we are committed to providing you with the best service and ensuring your shipments arrive on time and on budget.
