What's this surcharge business all about?

FedEx and other carriers are only interested in the dimensions of a box. And, when it comes to shipping long boxes, they demand a surcharge, which we have to pass along to you, our client. You may already know about surcharges for oversized dimensions, but it's not quite as simple as thinking of length of a stretcher bar as the dimension that matters when shipping, it's the box it's nestled in.

When the box that contains your stretcher bars reaches 60 inches, the carrier charges us a $15.00 surcharge for oversize length. Once the length of a box reaches 72" they charge $25.00. As stated on SBW's website, we pass this charge along even if you've qualified for free shipping. Wish we didn't have to, but if we didn't, we would need to raise our prices, and we don't think that makes sense.

At what length stretcher bar do the oversize surcharges kick in?

Stretcher bars that are 57" up to 69" fall into the $15 surcahrge range. Why? To protect the mitre corners of the bars, we pad the ends of the box and that, along with the flaps at the end of the box cause the box's dimension to fall into the 60" up to 72" surcharge level. The same is true with the $25 surcharge: bars from 69" to 78" fall into the 72" to 78" range once the padding and cardboard is accounted for.

If you're still confused, please, give us a call.
