STOP ✋before you ship that bulky item!
If you’re considering shipping larger items or those that are unusual in shape, please take a second to consider any extra charges applied by the carrier companies.
➡️ In the UK, if human intervention is needed due to an awkward shaped package, it will be deemed ‘ugly mail’ and you will likely need to pay more.
➡️ Similarly for international shipping, costs can be applied based on dimensions rather than the physical weight of your parcel, meaning you could incur a higher fee than you first realised.
That’s why it’s always worth considering the size and shape of your items, what you might put together as a bundle, or choosing what your products are shipped in carefully.
