Oversized & Heavy Package Forwarding

Oversized & Heavy Packages is a service designed for customers who need to ship large, bulky, or high-weight items internationally from the United States.

Large shipments often involve dimensional weight pricing, carrier surcharges, and special packaging requirements. This service helps manage those complexities by receiving oversized items at a US warehouse, optimizing packaging when possible, and offering shipping options suitable for heavier or larger parcels.

How Oversized & Heavy Forwarding Works

The process is similar to standard forwarding, with additional steps for size and weight constraints:

• Ship to Your US Address - Order oversized items to your assigned US shipping address.
• Warehouse Receiving - The package is received and logged, with basic condition and shipment details verified.
• Size & Weight Review - Package dimensions and weight category are confirmed, along with any carrier limitations.
• Optimization (Optional) - Repacking may reduce dimensional weight when safe and appropriate.
• International Dispatch - You select the best shipping method and the shipment is sent to your destination country.

This workflow is designed to keep oversized shipments predictable while helping avoid unexpected costs caused by dimensional pricing and oversize fees.

Who This Service Is For

Oversized & Heavy Package Forwarding is ideal for:

• customers buying large items from US retailers that do not ship internationally;
• international shoppers purchasing bulky goods, equipment, or multi-item orders;
• buyers shipping heavy items where carrier limits and surcharges apply;
• resellers importing inventory in larger volumes;
• customers who want safer handling and better packaging for large parcels.

If your shipment is larger than typical parcels, this service provides more control and planning.

Key Benefits of Oversized Shipping

Handling oversized and heavy packages through a dedicated forwarding process offers several advantages:

• Carrier-aware handling - size and weight limitations are considered before shipment;
• Cost control - optional repacking may reduce dimensional weight and oversize charges;
• Better protection - improved packaging stability for long-distance transit;
• Flexible options - shipping methods matched to destination and timeline;
• Centralized workflow - manage large shipments alongside standard forwarding.

Even small reductions in box size can significantly impact total shipping cost when dimensional pricing applies.

Common Oversized Items We Handle

This service is commonly used to forward items such as:

• large electronics (monitors, approved appliances);
• sporting goods and equipment;
• automotive parts and tools;
• home goods and bulky household items;
• multi-box orders that can be consolidated when allowed.

Some items may require special handling or may be restricted depending on destination country and carrier rules.

Shipping Considerations

Oversized shipments often require additional planning. Key factors include:

• Dimensional weight - large boxes may be billed by volume, not actual weight;
• Oversize fees - carrier surcharges above certain size thresholds;
• Handling requirements - reinforced packaging for heavier parcels;
• Restricted contents - limitations on certain batteries, liquids, or hazmat items.

Photo inspection and repacking are recommended for high-value or fragile oversized items.
