Air freight carriers bill based on dimensional weight (Length x Width x Height / 5000) whenever it exceeds dead weight. US suppliers often pack small precision components into oversized boxes filled with foam peanuts or air pillows. Our trained warehouse staff unboxes, eliminates excess airspace, and repackages your items into durable custom boxes, slashing chargeable weight.
