How are same day shipping costs determined?

The following factors impact your shipping costs for same day delivery service:

Distance. The farther you ship, the more it costs to send your shipment. Distance also affects how your shipment is transported—via dedicated vehicle or next available flight. Generally, air transportation will cost more.

Weight. Usually, the more your shipment weighs, the more it costs to ship it. Shipments that weigh up to 150 lbs. use parcel rates, and shipments 151 lbs. and up use freight rates. Total weight includes the packaging, so choose your box or packaging wisely.

Packing. Efficient packing can minimize shipping costs. Learn how you can pack smarter and protect specialty items.

Dimensional weight. Shipping charges are based on the dimensional weight (dim weight) or actual weight of the package—whichever is greater. Dim weight reflects a package’s density, which is the amount of space a package occupies in relation to its actual weight. Calculate your dim weight.
