Oversized Cargo to the USA: Zero Surcharge under 10 m

Doors & windows (with glass), patio furniture, fitness equipment, metal components under 10 m — pieces others pass on, we brace properly and deliver on time, door to door.

The Oversized Line, Point by Point

Every point is a promise you can verify — not an adjective.

Zero long/overweight surcharge under 10 m

Single pieces up to 10 m — doors, windows, furniture, building materials — carry no long-length or overweight surcharge. Pieces over 10 m are assessed individually (some carriers/lanes accept; we confirm space and the bracing plan first).

Custom crating with forklift pockets

Crates/skids built to the piece with forklift pockets for safer loading, transfer and warehousing, plus bracing to prevent shifting. Glass products get edge protectors and face protection.

Billing rules stated up front

Chargeable weight = the higher of volumetric vs. actual weight, crate included in dimensions; volumetric divisor per lane agreement (commonly ÷5000 or ÷6000), per the official quote. The quote is the total — no hidden fees.

What we ship best

Aluminum doors & windows (glass included), patio furniture, fitness equipment, profiles/extrusions, curtain-wall materials, metal components under 10 m.

Item Common industry practice Meixing oversized line
Long/overweight surcharge Per-piece surcharge is common practice, typically ~500–7,000 CNY/piece depending on piece type and lane (per carrier quote) Zero long/overweight surcharge for single pieces under 10 m
Dimension rules Inconsistent — crates/packaging often left out of the calculation, then added after quoting Stated up front: higher of volumetric vs. actual weight, crate included — the quote is the total
Pieces over 10 m Most lanes refuse outright or quote an extreme premium Assessed individually: select carriers/lanes accept; we confirm space and bracing, then quote
Bracing & fragile cargo Carriers accept the piece but give no guidance — glass damage is the shipper’s risk Custom crating + edge protectors + forklift pockets, loading guidance, claims terms in the contract

※ Peer figures describe common industry practice (reference range 500–7,000 CNY/piece); actual terms per each carrier’s quote.

Crating + Forklift Pockets: Bracing Isn’t an Add-on — It’s Coverage

  • Crates/skids built to the piece — structural cross-bracing, diagonal supports on long pieces to prevent warping
  • Forklift pockets — proper lift points for safer, faster loading, transfer and warehousing
  • Glass products — edge protectors + face protection + piece separation to prevent contact damage
  • Loading guidance — discharge and residential/floor-level delivery confirmed in advance (delivery add-ons per quote)

Special bracing materials are sourced at actual cost on request; damage caused by packaging issues is handled under the transport contract.

Oversized Cargo FAQ

How long counts as oversized?

In a container, a “long piece” is one close to the container’s interior length that has to be stowed diagonally or specially loaded. Our lane charges no long/overweight surcharge for single pieces under 10 m. Pieces over 10 m are assessed individually — some carriers/lanes accept, depending on space, container type and the bracing plan.

How are long/overweight surcharges calculated?

Under 10 m: zero long/overweight surcharge. The chargeable weight is the higher of volumetric vs. actual weight (crate included in dimensions), with the volumetric divisor per lane agreement and the official quote. Pieces over 10 m or overweight cases are quoted after individual assessment. Common industry practice is a per-piece surcharge (reference range 500–7,000 CNY/piece) — we waive that under 10 m.

How do you handle glass / fragile cargo?

Custom crating + edge protectors + glass face protection + piece separation, plus loading guidance; bracing materials can be sourced for you. Damage caused by packaging issues is handled under the transport contract — claims terms are written in.
