• Pre-Pay & Add, FedEx Priority Overnight or FedEx First Overnight are NEVER a shipping option.
  
• All boxes have a maximum weight limit of 70 lbs
  
• Shipment weight to be determined using Dimensional Weight standard outlined below.**
  
• Item #, Quantity, Lot # & Cure Date should appear on the outside of each box.
  
• On multi-box shipments, the box containing the shipping documents and certifications should be identified.
  
• Purchase order number, along with a general description of the goods must be indicated in the body of the Bill of Lading or Air Bill. For FedEx Shipments, the PO# should appear in Ref Field 2.

Dimensional Weight**

Due to the variations in package density, all freight carriers use a Dimensional Weight standard to determine Chargeable Weight.  For less dense shipments, the dimensional weight often applies.

Domestic Shipments: Dimensional Weight is only used for shipments that are greater than 3 cubic feet (5,184 cubic inches).  For shipments less that 3 cubic feet (Length x Width x Height < 5184 inches), actual package weight is always used.   For shipments greater that 3 cubic feet,
Dimensional Weight is determined by multiplying the Length by Width by Height and dividing by 194 (L x W x H/194). If the Dimensional Weight is greater than the actual weight, the Dimensional Weight should be used as the weight to determine shipping method.  Otherwise, use the actual weight to determine shipping method.

For Multi-Box shipments, the above calculation needs to be conducted for each box and summed to determine total weight of the shipment.  From the total shipment weight, the shipping method will be determined.
