## Research questions

### Which parcel limit belongs in a package delivery qualification form?

UPS's US guidance lists individual-package limits of 150 pounds, 165 inches in combined length and girth, and 108 inches in length. It notes local destination exceptions. Suggested practice: collect all three measures and check the route instead of applying one weight limit to an entire multi-parcel shipment.

### Why can a lightweight parcel still attract a higher shipping charge?

UPS's US guidance applies dimensional-weight calculations to packages with a large size-to-weight ratio. Its shipment preview can show billable weight after dimensions are entered. Suggested practice: request packed dimensions alongside actual weight; a product's scale weight alone does not establish the parcel charge.

### Which handling exceptions should a package offer disclose before purchase?

UPS's US guidance says additional handling may apply for specified oversized sides, heavier packages, non-corrugated packaging or domestic cubic size. Suggested practice: show the applicable service criteria at quoting time rather than promising every accepted parcel ships without handling charges.

### Does delivery to a home business count as commercial shipping?

UPS's US guidance includes a home-based business in a residential area within residential delivery. Incorrect classification can produce charge corrections. Suggested practice: qualify the actual destination type, not just whether the recipient runs a business, before presenting a shipping estimate.
