Re: Shipping an overweight crate with FedEx
My understanding is FedEx Ground charges by "dimensional weight" as do almost all ground freight companies. The shipping cost is determined by the size of your crate unless it exceeds the "dimensional weight". For a full-sized FIRST crate (48" x 48" x 70"), the dimensional weight is over 950 lb. FedEx Ground uses the formula: (#cu.in/166) to determine dimensional weight.
However, the drayage company (Shepard Exposition Services) will charge $55 for 1-50 pounds over 400, $100 for 451-500 pounds, and $100 for every 1 -100 pounds over 500. A 501-pound crate will cost $200 additional drayage charges.

The answer doesn't lie with an all student run team, or an Engineer-fest team... But somewhere in the middle. Moderation is key. - Cody Carey [more]
