OopBuy Shipping Guide: How to Avoid Overweight and Oversize Fees
Shipping costs can quickly escalate when your OopBuy parcel exceeds standard size or weight limits. This practical guide will help you measure packages accurately, request repacking services, and avoid unnecessary overweight fees.
Pre-Measuring Your Package Correctly
Step 1: Measure Dimensions
Use a tape measure to determine the length, width, and height of your package. Measure at the longest points of each side.
Step 2: Calculate Volumetric Weight
Use the formula: (Length × Width × Height) / Divisor (varies by carrier). Compare this to the actual weight – carriers charge based on whichever is greater.
Step 3: Check OopBuy's Size Limits
Review OopBuy's current dimensional weight policies and maximum size restrictions before ordering.
