What are the weight and size restrictions for UPS shipments?

Asked a year ago
UPS has specific weight and size restrictions for shipments to ensure safe and efficient delivery. For domestic shipments within the United States, packages can weigh up to 150 pounds and measure up to 165 inches in length and girth combined. However, certain services may have lower weight limits. For international shipments, the weight limit can vary based on the destination country and service selected. Generally, international packages can weigh up to 150 pounds, but some countries have lower limits. Size restrictions differ as well, with maximum dimensions of 108 inches in length and a total of 165 inches for length and girth combined. Oversized or overweight shipments may require additional fees or special arrangements. It's recommended to check UPS's website or contact customer service for specific details based on shipment type and destination.
