Carrier surcharges are extra charges that carriers add onto the cost of a shipment if the goods exceed the carrier’s shipping rules. Example instances which may trigger a carrier surcharge include:
Incorrect address
Missing or invalid account number
Late payment charge on an overdue invoice
Oversized pallet
Receiver or third party refuses to pay shipping charges
Inaccurate customer measurement of package weight, size and dimensions
Package over maximum limits (weight and height)
