Oversize and Heavyweight Items

• What is an “oversize” item? Oversize items are defined as oversize due to either their weight or overall size (e.g. – larger TVs, larger printers and racks).
• What is a “heavyweight” item? Heavyweight items are defined as items that weigh more than 150 pounds.
• Oversize and heavyweight items are shipped via BAX Global, PittOhio, and Yellow Freight trucking lines.
• Delivery Assistance. Oversize and heavyweight items are generally delivered to destinations via shipping departments. Customers requesting lift gate or inside delivery assistance on these items are asked to notify Connection at the time of order. If you request delivery assistance, a minimum charge of $150 will be assessed to cover added costs. Oversize (extremely large or bulky) or heavy shipments may result in additional charges for inside delivery assistance.

Shipping to PO Boxes, APO/ FPO addresses

• Only USPS options are available to ship to these addresses.
• Items over 70 lbs. and items that are oversize cannot be shipped to these addresses.
• If you live at a rural route address and are getting USPS as the shipping option (and should be getting the “Best Way” shipping options since a rural route address is a physical address and not a PO box address) you can abbreviate box to “BX” and the site will not flag the order as a PO box address.
• S. government personnel living overseas who have an APO or FPO address may use online ordering. For phone orders, please call 1-603-355-6005 or fax 1-603-446-7791.
• Orders to APO and FPO addresses will be shipped via Priority Mail and may take longer (generally five to eight days). All shipments must meet requirements of the U.S. Postal Service. Currently, each package must weigh less than 70 lbs. and have a maximum combined length + girth of 108″ (72″ for some addresses).
• Oversize or heavy items like computer systems or large monitors may require alternate shipping methods and may delay your order. If you are concerned that your order might not meet these requirements, please call 1-603-355-6005 to place your order and discuss alternative shipping options.

Required Signatures

For your protection, we require a signature for all shipments totaling more than $250 as well as for orders being shipped to apartments and businesses. If you are not available to sign for your package, we cannot ensure next-day delivery.

FAQ

I am only being offered USPS as a shipping option. How do I get the “Best Way” options?
Anytime you are using a PO box address as a shipping address (or an FPO/APO address), USPS will be the only shipping option that is available to you. If you live at a rural route address and you are getting USPS as the shipping option (and should be getting the “best way” shipping options since a rural route address is a physical address and not a PO box address), you can abbreviate box to “BX” and the site will not flag the order as a PO box address.
