FedEx shipping rates are clear-cut, but their oversized fees can be a costly surprise. One packaging mistake or policy oversight can trigger substantial surcharges and slash your profit margins.
With 12 years of specialized experience in large and heavy fulfillment, we’ve mastered all the FedEx size- and weight-related surcharges—from additional-handling and oversized-package fees to demand surcharges and the hefty $1,875 Ground Unauthorized Charge.
In this guide, we break down everything you need to know about these fees, including specific triggers and amounts, common pitfalls, and strategies to lower or eliminate the added costs.
TL;DR:
Key takeaways
FedEx rates are based on the package’s actual weight or the dimensional weight, whichever is greater.
A FedEx shipment will incur an Additional Handling Surcharge (AHS) between $29.50 and $58.75 if it doesn’t conform to certain size/weight limits or packaging guidelines. If multiple AHS are triggered, FedEx will only apply the highest.
Oversize Charge applies to FedEx shipments exceeding 96″ in length, 130″ in combined length and girth, 17,280 cubic inches in volume, or 110 lbs in actual weight.
FedEx Ground shipments must not exceed 108″ in length, 165″ in combined length and girth, or 150 lbs in actual weight. If a shipment breaches these thresholds, FedEx will refuse it, return it, or ship it with an additional charge of $1,875 per package.
During periods of high shipping demand, FedEx adds demand surcharges to the base rates. These fees include size- and weight-related charges such as Demand Additional Handling, Demand Oversize Charge, and Demand Ground Unauthorized Charge.
Critical 2026 update: New cubic volume and weight triggers
Effective January 12, 2026, FedEx introduced significant changes to how packages qualify for Additional Handling and Oversize surcharges. These new criteria work in addition to existing length and girth thresholds—meaning packages that were previously “clean” may now trigger costly fees.
Want to see exactly how these changes affect your shipments? We built a free calculator that shows whether your packages will get hit under the new rules—and by how much. Just plug in your dimensions, weight, and volume.

New cubic volume criteria
Additional Handling Surcharge — Dimension now applies if cubic volume exceeds 10,368 cubic inches (length × width × height).
Oversize Charge now applies if cubic volume exceeds 17,280 cubic inches.
New weight criteria for Oversize
Oversize Charge now applies if actual weight exceeds 110 lbs—regardless of package dimensions.
Why this matters
Previously, a package measuring 24″ × 24″ × 18″ wouldn’t trigger the dimension-based AHS because it didn’t breach the 48″ longest side, 30″ second-longest side, or 105″ length-plus-girth thresholds. But that same package has a cubic volume of 10,368 cubic inches—which now triggers the Additional Handling Surcharge.
Similarly, a compact but heavy package weighing 115 lbs that stayed under all previous size thresholds will now incur the Oversize Charge based purely on weight.
Bottom line: Review your packaging and product weights now. Many shippers will see surcharges on shipments that were previously exempt.

FedEx oversized fees explained
Additional Handling Surcharges (AHS)
FedEx applies an Additional Handling Surcharge to packages that exceed certain size and weight thresholds or have nonstandard packaging. Also known as AHS, these surcharges can be triggered by one of the following package characteristics:
Dimensions—length, combined length and girth, or cubic volume
Weight
Packaging
Below, we analyze these additional-handling surcharges, including their specific amounts and how they apply in different scenarios.
Dimension-based AHS
Policy: FedEx will apply a dimension-based additional handling surcharge if a package meets any of the following criteria:
The longest side exceeds 48″
The second-longest side exceeds 30″
Combined length and girth* exceed 105″
Cubic volume exceeds 10,368 cubic inches (effective January 12, 2026)
*Girth = 2 × width + 2 × height.
The surcharge amount is determined per shipping zone and doesn’t vary by the offending dimension. For example, a Zone-2 shipment will incur the same AHS whether the charge is triggered by the package’s length, combined length and girth, or cubic volume.
NOTE: FedEx uses dimensional weight (DIM weight) pricing to calculate shipping rates based on package size rather than actual weight. This accounts for the extra space and resources needed to process bulky shipments.
To calculate dimensional weight, multiply length × height × width (rounded to the nearest inch) and divide by 139. Then, round any decimal results up to the higher whole pound. Alternatively, calculate the specific DIM weight for your package using our dimensional weight calculator.
The table below shows the specific amounts of the size-based AHS fee for domestic shipping zones and on international routes.
Dimension-based AHS amounts (Effective January 5, 2026)
| Route/distance | Amount per package |
|---|---|
| Zone 2 | $29.50 |
| Zones 3–4* | $32.75 |
| Zones 5–6 | $38.50 |
| Zones 7+** | $40.75 |
| International | $29.50 |
*The Zone 3-4 surcharge also applies to shipments on the following routes: Intra-Oahu (U.S. Zone 14), Intra-Alaska (U.S. Zone 22), and U.S. Intra-Hawaii.
**The Zone 7+ fee also applies to shipments going from the United States to Puerto Rico.
NOTE: A package that breaches the size thresholds for AHS will also be subject to a 40-lb minimum billable weight. For example, if you’re shipping a curtain rod that weighs 6 lbs and measures 70″ × 8″ × 8″, its dimensional weight will be 33 lbs.
In this example, both the actual and the dimensional weight are lower than 40 lbs, so FedEx will treat the package as a 40-lb parcel when calculating the base rates.
Example: Consider four shipments—an office chair, a frameless canvas, a framed painting, and a large pillow. As the table below illustrates, these four shipments might trigger the dimension-based AHS by breaching different dimension thresholds.
AHS triggered by different dimension thresholds
| Item | Office chair | Frameless canvas | Framed painting | Large pillow |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Size | 44″ × 28″ × 25″ | 28″ × 26″ × 2″ | 26″ × 26″ × 6″ | 24″ × 24″ × 18″ |
| Packaged dimensions | 49″ × 30″ × 28″ | 33″ × 31″ × 5″ | 30″ × 30″ × 10″ | 24″ × 24″ × 18″ |
| AHS triggered? | Yes (longest side exceeds 48″) | Yes (second longest side exceeds 30″) | Yes (combined length and girth exceed 105″) | Yes (cubic volume equals 10,368 in³) |
Weight-based AHS
Policy: FedEx applies a weight-based additional handling surcharge if a package weighs more than 50 lbs (U.S. Package Services) or 55 lbs (International Package Services).
NOTE: The international weight threshold decreased from 70 lbs to 55 lbs in 2025. If you ship internationally and have packages in the 55–70 lb range, they now trigger the weight-based AHS.
The table below shows the weight-based AHS amounts for domestic shipping zones and international routes.
Weight-based AHS amounts (Effective January 5, 2026)
| Route/distance | Amount per package |
|---|---|
| Zone 2 | $46 |
| Zones 3–4 | $50.25 |
| Zones 5–6 | $56.25 |
| Zones 7+ | $58.75 |
| International | $40 |
NOTE: If a package breaches both size and weight AHS thresholds, FedEx will only apply the higher surcharge.
Example: Consider a shipment that breaches all AHS thresholds, like a refrigerator that measures 65″ × 31″ × 26″ and weighs 90 lbs. Since both the size and weight AHS are triggered, only the higher will apply.
If you ship this refrigerator within Zone 2, the potential AHS fees triggered by size and weight are $29.50 and $46, respectively. In this situation, FedEx will apply the higher weight-based surcharge and add $46 to your shipping costs.
NOTE: When dimensional weight exceeds 150 lbs but the package doesn’t breach maximum size and weight limits, FedEx ships it as a parcel at special per-pound rates. In this scenario, use the FedEx shipping-rate calculator for accurate cost assessment.
Packaging-based AHS
Policy: FedEx applies a packaging-based additional handling surcharge to packages with nonstandard packaging, including:
Packages not fully encased in an outer shipping container
Packages encased in metal, wood, or hard plastic
Cylindrical packages such as tubes, drums, pails, or barrels
Packages bound with metal, plastic, or cloth banding
Packaging-based AHS amounts (Effective January 5, 2026)
| Route/distance | Amount per package |
|---|---|
| Zone 2 | $26.50 |
| Zones 3–4 | $30.75 |
| Zones 5–6 | $33 |
| Zones 7+ | $33.75 |
| International | $29.50 |
Applicable services for AHS—domestic, international, and freight
FedEx applies the Additional Handling Surcharge to all domestic and international package services and Express Freight services, except FedEx International Premium.
The table below shows the AHS amounts for FedEx Express Freight services:
AHS amounts for FedEx Express Freight services (Effective January 5, 2026)
| FedEx service | Surcharge per freight handling unit |
|---|---|
| U.S. Express Freight | $285 |
| International Priority Freight | $275 |
| International Economy Freight | $275 |
| International Deferred Freight | $275 |
FedEx Oversize Charge
FedEx’s Oversize Charge applies a minimum billable weight to packages that exceed certain size, volume, or weight thresholds. Some core aspects of the policy differ between domestic and international shipments, so we’ve split this section accordingly.
Oversize Charge for domestic packages
Policy: A domestic package will incur the Oversize Charge if it meets any of the following criteria:
Length exceeds 96″
Combined length and girth exceed 130″
Cubic volume exceeds 17,280 cubic inches (effective January 12, 2026)
Actual weight exceeds 110 lbs (effective January 12, 2026)
When the Oversize Charge applies, FedEx will add the surcharge to the base rate and apply a minimum billable weight of 90 lbs.
NOTE: The new cubic volume and weight triggers are significant. A package measuring 30″ × 24″ × 24″ has a cubic volume of 17,280 in³ and will trigger the Oversize Charge—even though it’s well under the 96″ length and 130″ length-plus-girth thresholds. Similarly, a compact 112-lb package will now incur this charge regardless of dimensions.
Oversized Charge amounts per service (Effective January 5, 2026)
| Route/distance | FedEx U.S. Package Services | FedEx Home Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Zone 2 | $255 | $255 |
| Zones 3–4* | $275 | $275 |
| Zones 5–6 | $320 | $320 |
| Zones 7+** | $330 | $330 |
*Zone 3-4 rates also apply to intra-Alaska and intra-Oahu shipments (U.S. Zone 22 and Zone 14, respectively).
**Zone 7+ rates apply to packages shipped from the United States to Puerto Rico.
NOTE: In 2026, FedEx aligned the Oversize Charge for U.S. Package Services and Home Delivery shipments. These rates are now the same across both service types.
Example: A 35-lb shipment that measures 91″ × 10″ × 10″ has a combined length and girth of 131″, which triggers the FedEx Oversize Charge. Moreover, the applicable weight for FedEx shipping charges will be the greatest of actual, dimensional, and minimum billable weight.
The table below illustrates how FedEx determines the billable weight for this package.
Domestic shipment subject to the 90-lb minimum billable weight
| Assumed packaged dimensions | 91″ × 10″ × 10″ |
| Actual weight | 35 lbs |
| Dimensional weight | 65 lbs |
| Oversized-charge limits breached? | Yes – combined length and girth is 131″ |
| Minimum billable weight | 90 lbs |
| Billable weight | 90 lbs |
Oversize Charge for international packages
Policy: International packages that trigger the Oversize Charge incur a flat $208 add-on fee but are exempt from the 90-lb minimum billable weight. However, if a package on international routes also breaches the dimension-based AHS limits, FedEx applies a minimum billable weight of 40 lbs.
Example: Consider shipping a slender textile roll internationally. If the packaged roll measures 97″ × 7″ × 7″ and weighs 30 lbs, it breaches two relevant size thresholds—that of the Oversize Charge and the dimension-based AHS.
On the other hand, both the actual weight (30 lbs) and the dimensional weight (35 lbs) are lower than 40 lbs. In this scenario, FedEx will base their rates on the minimum billable weight, as illustrated in the table below.
International FedEx shipment subject to the 40-lb minimum billable weight
| Item | Textile roll |
| Assumed packaged dimensions | 97″ × 7″ × 7″ |
| Actual weight | 30 lbs |
| Dimensional weight | 35 lbs |
| Combined length and girth | 125″ |
| Dimension-based AHS limits breached? | Yes (length over 48″) |
| Oversized-charge limits breached? | Yes (length over 96″) |
| Billable weight | 40 lbs (based on the minimum billable weight) |
NOTE: If a package triggers the Oversize Charge, FedEx will not consider the dimension-based AHS. However, other additional-handling fees still apply (e.g., weight- and packaging-based). For example, if the textile roll weighed 56 lbs, FedEx would add both the Oversize Charge and the weight-based AHS to the base shipping rate.
Policy: FedEx may refuse parcel shipping or add a $1,875 per-package surcharge when shipments exceed any of these limits:
108″ in length
165″ in combined length and girth
150 lbs in actual weight
If they accept the shipment, it’s subject to a minimum billable weight of 90 lbs.
Example: If you’re shipping a 50-lb package that measures 60″ × 25″ × 25″, its combined length and girth is 160″, so it doesn’t breach any of the maximum size limits.
However, suppose the package changes shape/dimensions during transit and FedEx remeasures it at 55″ × 28″ × 28″. In that case, the new combined length and girth of 167″ exceeds the unauthorized-package threshold and potentially triggers the $1,875 surcharge.
Applicable services: FedEx Ground, FedEx Home Delivery, and FedEx International Ground.
NOTE: The FedEx Ground Unauthorized Package Charge mirrors the UPS Over Maximum Limits fee, both in size/weight thresholds and surcharge amount.
FedEx Demand surcharges for heavy and large packages
During peak demand periods, typically late September through mid-January, FedEx adds demand surcharges to the base shipping rates.
Formerly called “Peak,” these Demand surcharges may be unrelated to size (like Demand-Residential Delivery), but can also be directly triggered by package dimensions or weight.
Today, we’re focusing on the latter—the demand surcharges specifically related to weight and size.
NOTE: These surcharges aren’t just about increasing revenue. They help ensure reliability and smooth operations during periods when high demand strains the FedEx network and drives up operational costs. In other words, it’s about delivering that giant teddy bear in time for Christmas, even at a higher cost.
Size and weight-related demand surcharges
FedEx has three demand surcharges directly related to size and weight: Demand Additional Handling, Demand Oversize Charge, and Demand Ground Unauthorized Charge.
Below, we review the key aspects of these surcharges, including the amounts, applicable services, and triggers.
Demand — Additional Handling
Per-package charge: $8.25 – $10.90 (varies by date)
Applicable services: All U.S. and international package services, plus all international express freight services except FedEx International Premium.
Triggers:
Longest side of the package exceeds 48″
Second longest side exceeds 30″
Combined length and girth exceed 105″
Cubic volume exceeds 10,368 cubic inches
Actual weight exceeds 50 lbs (domestic) or 55 lbs (international)
Nonstandard packaging
2025-2026 Peak Season Amounts
| Effective date | Amount per package |
|---|---|
| Sept. 29 – Nov. 23, 2025 | $8.25 |
| Nov. 24 – Dec. 28, 2025 | $10.90 |
| Dec. 29, 2025 – Jan. 18, 2026 | $8.25 |
Demand — Oversize Charge
Per-package charge: $90 – $108.50 (varies by date)
Applicable services: All U.S. and international package services.
Triggers:
Longest side exceeds 96″
Combined length and girth exceed 130″
Cubic volume exceeds 17,280 cubic inches
Actual weight exceeds 110 lbs
2025-2026 Peak Season Amounts
| Effective date | Amount per package |
|---|---|
| Sept. 29 – Nov. 23, 2025 | $90 |
| Nov. 24 – Dec. 28, 2025 | $108.50 |
| Dec. 29, 2025 – Jan. 18, 2026 | $90 |
Per-package charge: $490 – $545 (varies by date)
Applicable services: FedEx Ground, FedEx Home Delivery, FedEx International Ground.
Triggers:
Longest side exceeds 108″
Combined length and girth exceed 165″
Actual weight exceeds 150 lbs
2025-2026 Peak Season Amounts
| Effective date | Amount per package |
|---|---|
| Sept. 29 – Nov. 23, 2025 | $490 |
| Nov. 24 – Dec. 28, 2025 | $545 |
| Dec. 29, 2025 – Jan. 18, 2026 | $490 |
Example: Consider a Zone-2 shipment that measures 40″ × 26″ × 20″. It breaches the oversized-package thresholds because the combined length and girth is 132″.
If you send this package with FedEx outside peak seasons, it will incur the base Oversize Charge of $255. However, if you send it during the peak window (Nov. 24 – Dec. 28), FedEx will also add a $108.50 Demand–Oversize Charge to the base charges, bringing the total size-related surcharge to $363.50.
NOTE: FedEx demand surcharges apply through the holiday season, typically late September to mid-January, reaching a peak around Christmas. FedEx typically announces these amounts early, giving shippers time to adjust to the higher costs. As preparation for the upcoming season, make sure to check their website for demand-surcharge updates.
8 tips to lower FedEx Oversize Charges
The following section provides tips to lower or avoid the FedEx surcharges when shipping oversized packages. For each tip, we provide an example and explain what to do and what can go wrong/how it helps.
Measure the packaged dimensions
01
What to do: Measure the final packaged dimensions (as opposed to the pre-packaged item), as these are the only measurements that matter in FedEx’s automated systems.
What can go wrong: You might measure a box and then wrap it in an extra layer of foam sheets, which would result in inaccurate measurements. In this scenario, the FedEx system will show greater dimensions than you initially measured, which might trigger additional charges or oversized fees.
Example: If the initial measurements are 48″ × 10″ × 10″, and you add a foam-sheet layer, the new measurements might be 49″ × 11″ × 11″. The longest side of that package would trigger the Additional Handling Surcharge.
Secure loose pieces of tape or string
02
What to do: Ensure all tape and string on the package is secure. If you feel a section isn’t tightly secured and might get loose in transit, double tape it.
What can go wrong: FedEx’s automated system might recognize a loose piece of tape as the shipment’s edge and trigger size-related surcharges.
Example: If the shipping box measures 20″ × 20″ × 20″ and a 6″ piece of tape loosens in transit, FedEx might measure the package to be 26″ × 20″ × 20″. In this case, the combined length and girth of that shipment goes from 100″ to 106″, which triggers the additional-handling fee.
Round the dimensions
03
What to do: Round down dimensions with decimals under .5, and round up for .5 and above as shown in the table below.
| Actual dimension | Rounded dimension |
|---|---|
| 10.1″ | 10″ |
| 10.4″ | 10″ |
| 10.5″ | 11″ |
| 10.9″ | 11″ |
What can go wrong: You might measure your package, including decimals, and conclude that it doesn’t trigger size-related surcharges. Rounded, the dimensions might exceed one of the size thresholds, resulting in higher shipping costs.
Example: Consider a shipment that measures 19.8″ × 20″ × 22.6″. If you use decimal points for calculations, the combined length and girth will be exactly 105″, and the additional-handling fee won’t be triggered.
Rounded, the dimensions of the same package are 20″ × 20″ × 23″, which puts the combined length and girth at 106″ and triggers the additional-handling surcharge.
NOTE: Actual and dimensional weights are rounded up to the nearest pound. For example, the dimensional-weight calculation for the aforementioned package is 20″ × 20″ × 23″ ÷ 139 ≈ 66.18. FedEx will round up the dimensional weight to 67 lbs when assessing shipping costs.
Measure the furthest points
04
What to do: Include any protruding elements or irregular shapes when measuring your package.
What can go wrong: You might assess your package’s dimensions based on the wrong end-points. FedEx will reassess these measurements, and the protruding edges might trigger a size-related surcharge.
Example: Consider shipping a vintage manual coffee grinder weighing 3 lbs. The main body and the powder bin might fit into a 5″ × 5″ × 10″ box. To use that box without disassembling the grinder, you’d need to pack around the handle. In this scenario, the width and length of the package will be assessed on the handle’s edge.
Specifically, if the handle goes 4″ beyond the grinder’s box, the final billable dimensions of this package might be closer to 9″ × 9″ × 10″. As a result, FedEx shipping fees will be based on the 6-lb dimensional weight because it’s higher than the actual weight.
On a larger scale, similar mistakes can lead to breached size thresholds or even absolute maximums, which can mean extra fees and refused shipments.
PRO TIP: A good approach to assessing shipping costs for irregularly shaped packages is to imagine lines that touch the package at its furthest points. The distances between those tangent lines are the applicable measurements.
Optimize the packaging
05
What to do: Keep specific thresholds in mind and adjust the box size and padding accordingly. For most packages, 2″–4″ of padding will offer sufficient protection.
What can go wrong: You might pay higher rates or incur extra fees by packing into an oversized box.
Example: Consider shipping a cordless grass trimmer that measures 60″ × 15″ × 10″. Optimized, the packaging might measure 63″ × 18″ × 12″. This shipment will trigger the Additional Handling Surcharge (length over 48″) without breaching the Oversize Charge threshold (130″ in combined length and girth).
In contrast, if you pack the same trimmer into a box that measures 65″ × 20″ × 14″, the combined length and girth for the package becomes 133″. That triggers the FedEx Oversize Charge and adds hundreds of dollars to your invoice.
Moreover, using a smaller box reduces shipping costs, regardless of surcharges.
Pack in sturdy boxes and containers
06
What to do: Pack your items into sturdy containers and boxes that can sustain pressure. Keep in mind that packages might be stacked or pressed.
What can go wrong: Your package can change shape. The new shape might infringe on one or more of FedEx’s sizing policies.
Example: Consider shipping a 28″ × 22″ × 15″ box of malleable items, like plush toys. The initial dimensions don’t trigger any size-related surcharges in the FedEx System.
However, if the box is stacked and not sturdy enough to maintain its shape, it might compress and change dimensions to 30″ × 25″ × 13″. With the changed dimensions, the package measures 106″ in combined length and girth, which triggers the FedEx additional handling fee.
Split oversized shipments into multiple packages
07
What to do: Consider splitting one oversized package that triggers FedEx surcharges into smaller shipments that don’t breach the sizing thresholds.
How it helps: You avoid the size-related fees. Even the added cost for multiple packages might be lower than the total surcharge cost.
Example: If you’re shipping a box that measures 30″ × 30″ × 25″, an Oversize Charge will be added to your invoice because the combined length and girth exceed 130″.
However, if you split that box into two shipments measuring 25″ × 25″ × 18″, you can ship the same volume (11,250 cubic inches) while lowering the size-related fees from the Oversize Charge to the Additional Handling Surcharge.
NOTE: If you’re running an ecommerce business, assess whether it makes financial sense to split packages. While you might save on shipping, a higher number of packages can increase operational costs and total fulfillment expenses.

Calculate cubic volume—not just length and girth
08
What to do: With the new 2026 criteria, always calculate your package’s cubic volume (length × width × height) in addition to traditional measurements.
How it helps: You can identify packages that will now trigger surcharges under the new cubic volume thresholds—even if they were previously exempt.
Example: A package measuring 24″ × 24″ × 18″ has these characteristics:
Longest side: 24″ (under the 48″ AHS threshold)
Second-longest side: 24″ (under the 30″ AHS threshold)
Combined length and girth: 108″ (under the 105″ AHS threshold)
Cubic volume: 10,368 in³ (triggers the AHS under the new criteria)
Without calculating cubic volume, you might assume this package is surcharge-free. Under the 2026 rules, it incurs the Additional Handling Surcharge.
PRO TIP: Use our free surcharge calculator to instantly check whether your packages trigger the new cubic volume thresholds. Just plug in your dimensions—it does the math for you.
Consider FedEx Multiweight pricing
09
What to do: Activate FedEx Multiweight pricing on your shipping account.
How it helps: FedEx Multiweight pricing simplifies the cost assessment when shipping multiple packages. The system compares the potential cost of sending multiple shipments to the cost of combining the packages into one shipment, and automatically applies the lower rate.
Example: If you’re shipping three packages weighing 60 lbs, 70 lbs, and 80 lbs, the cost of transporting them as a single Multiweight shipment might be lower than the combined cost of three separate shipments.
NOTE: FedEx Multiweight pricing is available for FedEx Ground and FedEx Express on domestic and international routes. See the qualifying terms and specific eligible services on the FedEx website.
