Whether you want to send a box full of books, a pallet of bricks or a whole fleet of vehicles, you can count on us to do the heavy lifting.
Any parcel weighing over 23 kg is classified as a heavy shipment by the official regulators. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will need to go on a pallet. Shipments under 70 kg can usually travel without one, although this varies depending on the region.
While there is no official classification for large goods, anything that needs to go on a pallet is usually placed in this category.
Large shipments may incur an Exceed Dimensions fee depending on the service you choose. For Economy or Domestic services, this applies to shipments larger than 2.4 x 1.2 x 1.8 m. For Express Services, it’s 1.2 x 1.2 x 1.5 m.
Any single item heavier than 500 kg or too large to be palletised will require a unique solution designed by our team of specialists. E.g. Tail-lifted goods, industrial equipment.

Anything and everything
We can accept boxes weighing up to 70 kg without a pallet, but it’s vital that everyone involved in the shipping process is aware that it’s a heavy shipment. Labelling boxes over 23 kg with a ‘HEAVY’ label will help ensure the safety of those handling them.
The perfect pallet doesn’t just provide stability and protection – it also helps avoid additional costs. As our charges are based on a combination of weight and volume, anything that takes extra space or makes your pallet non-stackable could incur surcharges.
If you’re shipping something irregularly sized or in excess of 500 kg, you may need some help packing and sending it on its way. Please contact Customer Service so we can help you with your next step.
