Surcharge for large parcels

A parcel is considered a "large parcel" if the total dimension exceeds 300 cm in length plus girth [girth = (2 x width) + (2 x height)], but is less than the maximum UPS dimension of 400 cm. Large parcels are subject to a minimum chargeable weight of 40kg. In addition, a surcharge is levied for large parcels.
You can find a weight calculator here .

Minimum weight 40 kg according to UPS standard rate, less shipping method-specific discounts €95.55 per parcel plus shipping costs

Volume weight before weight

Compare the actual weight with the volumetric weight. The larger of the two is the weight to be calculated and is used to calculate the rate. For consignments consisting of several parcels, add up the weight to be calculated for all parcels in the consignment.

Oversize surcharge

Packages weighing more than 70 kg or exceeding 274 cm in length or 400 cm in length and girth [(2 x width) + (2 x height)] will not be accepted for shipping. However, shipments found in the UPS parcel system will be subject to a surcharge. For parcels whose combined length and circumference exceed 400 cm, the large parcel surcharge will also be charged.
