NetSuite UPS Rate Calculation
NetSuite considers the following factors when calculating UPS shipping rates:
-
Whether the package is picked up during regular daily UPS pickup
-
Whether the packaging material is provided by the shipper
-
Whether the destination is a commercial destination. Residential rates are higher in some delivery areas
-
Whether multiple products are placed in one package. The weight of the package may be less than the estimated rate submitted due to weight rounding
-
Whether the rate determined by product weight only. Some packages may incur additional UPS fees based on package dimensions or additional services, such as Saturday delivery
Weight and size limits apply to all packages sent by UPS domestic air and ground services. The maximum size for a package is 130 inches combined length (the longest side of the package), girth (the distance all the way around the package at its widest point perpendicular to the length), and the maximum length per package is 108 inches.
