How will Xparcel determine the best shipping method?

Xparcel is designed to look at package size, point of origin and the destination. Xparcel will also take into consideration dimensional weight, oversize fees and any seasonal surcharges when selecting the ideal shipping method.

Is Xparcel only available for packages of a certain weight?

Xparcel was built to serve all your shipping needs and was calculated specifically for products up to 25lbs. However, the most efficient “sweet spot” is for packages up to 10lbs. Although this shipping software works best for lighter packages, the system can still be utilized for packages up to 150 lbs. Xparcel Expedited and Xparcel Ground will default to UPS Ground for packages over 25lbs instead of using local carriers.

Who is the carrier for my Xparcel packages?

The beauty of Xparcel is that the technology automatically selects the best carrier(s) who can meet your ideal delivery timeframe and cost based on where the origin and destination of the package is. We use a basket of carriers including UPS, FedEx, DHL, and USPS to accomplish this, but any single package could use them, a combination of them, or another regional carrier.
