A Note on Shipping Weight
Shipping weight may be based on either Unit Weight or Dimensional Weight. To calculate your Dimensional Weight, divide your Unit Volume (length x width x height) by 139.
Determining Product Size Tier
Use the table below to determine your Product Size Tier. Note your single unit weight and dimensional weight and use whichever is larger. Standard-size products weighing 0.75 lb or less and special oversize products should use the unit weight.
