we had a similar problem. we shipped our crate(150lbs max) with our 120 pound robot, one extra battery, and the control systems, and absolutely nothing else and they said we weighed 430+ lbs. Im no math genius, but I can tell that we didnt way any more than 330 lbs. we had to pay 48 bucks, but could of challenged it. Midwest drayage was going to send a rep to our pits at Sac and make us repack the crate, and weigh it, to see if it was under 400lbs. Since this was expected to take over an hour, we thought it was better to spend the 48 dollars just to save our time.
