Oversize Package Surcharge vs. Over Maximum Limits Surcharge: Key Differences

What's the difference between the Oversize Packages surcharge and the Over Maximum Limits surcharge?

Oversize Package surcharge applies when a package exceeds the DIM weight limit specified for each service, ranging from 70-90lbs. Carriers can surely ship the oversized packages with the corresponding oversized surcharges, which comes as a cost to the shipper ranging from $100-145.

While Over Maximum Limits surcharge (may also be known as Unauthorized Package surcharge) applies when packages exceed the DIM weight limit deemed unacceptable for transportation (greater or equal to150Ibs). Carriers have the right to not accept packages and not deliver them to their destination. If carriers do accept them, shippers will pay the most expensive surcharge there is starting from $1,150.
