When shipping via Shipcloud business rates, you must comply with the maximum permissible package dimensions and weight of the respective carrier.
📌 If you exceed these package dimensions and weights, you may incur additional costs per shipment. Shipcloud reserves the right to pass on these surcharges to you. You can also find more information about possible surcharges of the carriers here in our Help Center in our "Carriers" collection.
