Shipping Crate

You have 4-5 months before you need to use it so you have the time to fix it.

I doubt they would refuse it but you never know how strict the guy who is picking it up will be.

The size limitation seems to be related to the Fedex voucher. My bill of lading from 2011 had the size limit pre printed on it. Anything oversize or overweight can be billed at a higher rate. The absolute height limit for fedex express freight is 70" Ground freight can be taller.

The 1/4' you might get away with. 1" height is pushing it. Better to rebuild it undersized. While I do not see it changing, the 2013 crate dimensions could be different. After all is is a water game.

I've never seen them measure it, but that doesn't mean they don't do it at a warehouse and then bill you more. You have a few months to rebuild it a bit smaller so you don't risk the oversize charges.
