If you have more than one package to be shipped, consider each package a
separate shipment for weight calculation purposes. Determine the Actual
Weight: Use any standard scale and round up any fraction of a pound to
the next full pound.
Determine Dimensional Weight:
For UPS Ground Shipments: If the cubic size of the package is 5,184 or larger, divide
the cubic size by 194 to determine dimensional weight in pounds. If the
cubic size is less than 5,184, use the actual weight of the package.
For UPS Air Shipments: Divide the cubic size by 194 to determine dimensional
weight in pounds. Round up any fraction of a pound to the next full pound.
Determine Billable Weight:
Compare each package’s actual weight to its dimensional weight. The larger
of the two weights is the billable weight and should be used to calculate the rate.
If you have a multiple-package shipment, add the cubic sizes for all of the packages
together. The total is the cubic size of your shipment.

Large Package Conditions
Your UPS domestic or UPS Standard to Canada
package is considered a Large Package when its length, combined with
twice the width plus twice the height, exceeds 130 inches and is equal
to or less than 165 inches.
– Large Packages are subject to a minimum
billable weight of 90 pounds.
– To determine the rate for single-package
shipments with a dimensional weight of 150 pounds or more, multiply the
package weight by the price per pound multiplier.
Large Package Surcharge
A Large Package Surcharge of US$40 will be applied to all UPS
domestic packages, including Hundredweight and Standard to Canada
packages, when the size of the package exceeds 130 inches (330 cm) in
length and girth combined.
