A Special Handling Surcharge is applied to pieces in a shipment which exceed certain weight and/or dimensional values or pieces and which requires additional handling by Purolator due to the nature of the contents and/or packaging attributes (non-standard or unpackaged).
Special Handling is applied to shipments when either selected by the user or assigned by the system when specific weight, dimensional or other attributes have been triggered. The system must validate every shipment piece to determine if any Special Handling is applicable.
Special Handling is applied to specific individual pieces within a shipment. For example, if you send a shipment of ten pieces and five of those pieces are included in the Special Handling category, then the surcharge is applied to those five pieces only.
Special Handling will be applied to all pieces shipping to Domestic, US, and International destinations (excluding Purolator Express Envelope, Purolator Express Pack, and inbound ExpressCheque).
Dangerous Goods and Special Handling
Dangerous Goods and Special Handling can be applied together. The system applies both services, and labels display respective indicators. However, the charges may apply based on the data and pricing rules.
