| QUESTION:
What is this new shipping size OS1 and OS2 that UPS has initiated?
ANSWER:
OS1 and OS2 are size to weight measurement used to determine the
shipping costs for larger packages via UPS ground shipments.
A package that meets the OS1 size will ship at actual weight or 30
lbs whichever is higher.
A package that meets the OS2 size will ship at actual weight or 70
lbs whichever is higher.
It is to your advantage to pack carefully. Cutting a box down
to size to meet below OS1 or OS2 size can save you a lot of money.
HOWEVER.... Don't risk improper packing methods. Irregardless of
cost, it is better to pay the higher cost, then to have a package arrive
damaged. More importantly it is better to use proper packing techniques
then to have a UPS claim denied for improper packing. |
