SHIPPING VIA GROUND (slow): When shipping via UPS
Ground, you will be charged by actual weight. To ship our display from
LA to New York would cost $27. Shipping the typical popup would cost
$47.
SHIPPING VIA AIR (fast): When shipping via AIR (such as FedEx or
UPS Overnight or 2nd Day), you will be charged by the higher of the actual
or the "dimensional" weight.
To ship our display from LA to New York via Priority Overnight would cost
$131. Shipping the typical popup booth would cost $305.
CHECKING AS AIRLINE BAGGAGE: Most airlines allow you to
check two articles at no charge, but may charge extra fees for (1)
overweight baggage and/or (2) oversize baggage.
Overweight bags are usually any that weigh more than 50 pounds.
Since all bags are weighed at check-in, this fee is almost always applied.
American Airlines charges $25 for bags over 50 pounds, $50 for bags over
70 pounds, and will not accept bags over 100 pounds. This fee applies to every pop-up display we know of, but not our Signature
display.
Oversize bags are usually any on which the Length + Width + Height
exceeds 62" Assessing this fee requires the bag to be measured by the
attendant. Both our case and all popup cases exceed the 62", though
the popup case by much more, and due to its size and weight (double ours),
the fee is much more likely to be assessed.
Finally, if the above savings don't impress you, think about your back.
Which display would you rather haul around and get in and out of a rental
car's trunk?
notes:
1. To calculate dimensional weight multiple the length x width x
height and divide by 194 for domestic shipments or by 166 for international
shipments.
2. The above shipping quotes are estimates based on a standard
commercial account. UPS and FedEX may charge an additional $5 handling
fee for packages that are not enclosed in a cardboard box.
