UPS uses dimensional weight (DIM) when calculating rates. UPS may adjust label fees even after shipment if the label does not reflect accurate weight or dimensions. These adjustments will automatically be deducted from your ShipStation balance.
ShipStation includes a View Reports link that allows you to quickly view any adjustments applied to packages after they have been shipped.
Be sure to always include the dimensions of the shipment as well as weight so you are billed correctly when you create the label.
It is the shipper's responsibility to enter an accurate dimension into ShipStation before creating the label for the shipment!
Packages with an actual weight of more than 150 pounds, or that exceed 108 inches in length, or exceed a total of 165 inches in length plus girth [(2 x width) + (2 x height)] combined, as measured to determine their billable weight, are not accepted for transportation.
If UPS finds packages that exceed these limits in the UPS system, the shipments are subject to additional charges. UPS reserves the right in its sole and unlimited discretion to return such packages to the shipper at the shipper’s expense.

Important Details about Disputing Adjustments
-
A negative balance must be resolved before creating more labels. If the adjustment has resulted in a negative postage balance, you will not be able to create labels in ShipStation until you add funds to your balance.
If refunds are due to your account, they will be applied automatically to your ShipStation Balance.
-
Support agents may ask for photographic proof to dispute the adjustment.
-
Adjustments can only be disputed 90 days from the delivery date.
