Weight

You can use your bathroom or kitchen scales to weigh your package, but make sure the weight includes all the packaging.

Be as accurate as possible to ensure you pay the right price. Your package will be checked by the courier and a final charge may be added if it's bigger/heavier than declared.

Weight examples for common items*

Up to 1 lb

Jeans, t-shirts, hoodies

2-3 lb

Shoes, small kitchen appliances, children's toys

3-12 lb

Coats and jackets, home accessories and small items of furniture

*For reference only. Always weigh your package for the most accurate price.

Dimensions

Tell us the dimensions of the package or box you're sending. You'll need to measure the height, width and length. The length is always the longest side.

The size of an average shoe box is 13-14 inches in length, 7.5-10 inches wide and 4-5 inches high.

Item value

For new items, the value should reflect the current retail price. If you're shipping a used item that you've sold online, please use the price you sold it for.

Want to add protection cover?

If your package is eligible for protection cover, you can add this later on in the booking process - often it's free!

Parcel contents

Give us an accurate description of the item(s) you're sending.

E.g. 2 x t-shirts and 1 x baseball cap

Please avoid vague descriptions such as 'gifts' and 'stuff'. This could cause your package to be delayed.

For international shipments you will be asked to provide a more detailed description of each item when you complete your customs documents.

Additional handling

UPS offers an additional handling fee for shipments that require special handling during transit. This fee is typically based on the shipment's dimensions and weight. The carrier can also reserve the right to charge the additional handling fee for any shipment that they assess meets the additional handling criteria.

Additional handling fee applies to the following criteria:

• Any item that is held in an outside shipping container made of metal or wood.
• Any cylindrical item, such as a barrel, drum, pail, or tyre, that is not fully encased in corrugated cardboard packaging.
• Any package with the longest side exceeding 48 inches (122 cm) or its second-longest side exceeding 30 inches (76 cm).
• Any package with an actual weight greater than 70 pounds (32 kg).
• Any package in a shipment that is greater than 70 pounds (32 kg) and/ or the weight for the package is not specified on the source document or the UPS automated shipping system used.
