<html> <body> I have found fed ex ground to be the best deal fro those bulky vanagon items. The calculations for dimensional weight are not really that mysterious. It is important to consider though as it can bump your bulky item's shipping cost up to that of a 30, 50, or 90 lb package. So here it is:<br><br> <br> The Dimensional Weight calculator does not apply to FedEx Ground. For FedEx Ground packages: <ul> <li>A package weighing less than 30 lbs. and measuring more than 84 inches and equal to or less than 108 inches in combined length and girth will be classified as an Oversize 1 (OS1) package. The transportation charges for an Oversize 1 (OS1) package will be the same as a 30-lb. package being transported under the same circumstances. <li>A package weighing less than 50 lbs. and measuring more than 108 inches in combined length and girth will be classified as an Oversize 2 (OS2) package. The transportation charges for an Oversize 2 (OS2) package will be the same as a 50-lb. package being transported under the same circumstances. <li>A package weighing less than 90 lbs. and measuring greater than 130� in length and girth will be classified by FedEx Ground and an Oversize 3 (OS3) package. The transportation charges for an OS3 package will be the same as a 90-lb. package being transported under the same circumstances. </ul></body> <br> </html>
