Beside the occurring unnecessary costs, the packages could be denied by most carriers like FedEx or USPS due to larger than the standard package sizes in their guidelines. For example, the size of the packages shipped through FedEx, UPS, or the Postal Service all guidelines with package size and weights. uBoxes packaging has been optimized for the best value and shipping method to ship each package. For example on some of the larger moving kits the package contents have been divided up into multiple boxes for best rate shipping and to comply with size requirements.
