Why am I being charged Special Handling?

The reasons are common among all 3 couriers. However, they are not limited to the following:

–          Any item that is not fully enclosed with corrugated cardboard box  (excluding envelopes)
–          Overweight/Over-sized
–          Any cylindrical items such as; barrel, drum, pail, tires, tubes
–          Any box where there may be an indication of loose pieces (nuts, bolts, etc)
–          Any stickers or writing indicating Fragile, handle with care etc

All Special Handling charges will only be charged after the shipping process.  This is up to the sole discretion of the carriers once it arrives at the depot.
