SHIPPING INFORMATION Packaging of Mat board & Foam core Our mat board and foam core are packed with extreme care and for maximum protection. There are four steps we take to help protect the mat board from becoming damaged in shipment: 1. Boards are put in plastic bags to keep them dry and dirt-free. 2. Boards are put into cardboard boxes. 3. In most cases filler paper is put on the top, bottom and around all sides of the boards to prevent movement during shipment. 4. 3/16" thick edge board is attached around the exterior sides of the box to help keep the corners and edges from getting dented. If "damaged in transit" should occur, file a claim with the carrier. Notify us (1-800-334-9060) that you have filed a claim with the shipper and initiate arrangements for replacements.

| Domestic (Oversize 1 and 2)
FedEx classifies long or large, but light weight packages, as "OVERSIZED" and charge more for them by both ground and air delivery. The following two charts will explain why some items are billed for shipping at a weight that is greater than the actual weight of the package. |
|
|
|
|
| Oversize 1 and 2 refer to packages traveling by Ground delivery: | |
| Oversize
1
A package is considered "Oversize 1" (OS1) when all of the following conditions apply: The package's combined length and girth exceeds 84 inches. The package's combined length and girth is equal to or less than 108 inches. The package's actual weight is less than 30 pounds. For each OS1 package, the billable weight is 30 pounds. |
|
| The following directions refer to packages Shipped by Air: | |
| Domestic Shipments (Dimensional Weight) | |
| FedEx Next Day Air | |
| FedEx 2nd Day Air | |
| 1. Determine actual weight. - Weigh the box | |
| 2.
Determine dimensional weight.
Multiply the package length by the width by the height. For each measurement, round off any fraction the nearest whole inch. The result is the cubic size. If this number is 1,728 inches or less, use the actual weight in your rate calculation. If this number is more than 1,728 inches, divide the cubic size by 194 to determine dimensional weight in pounds. Increase any fraction to the next pound. |
|
| 3.
Determine billable weight.
Compare each package's actual weight to its dimensional weight. The larger of the two weights is the billable weight and should be used to calculate the rate. |
