How are freight prices calculated?
 Dimensional Weight
The main change involves the use of something called dimensional weight. The freight carriers have switched to using this method for packages that are large, but not necessarily heavy.
The dimensional weight is calculated by taking the dimensions and dividing the volume by 194 (L x W x H = VOL / 194)
Example:
Lets say we have a backpack that is 28x16x8 but only weighs 5lbs.
The regular weight is 5lbs.
The dimensional weight is 18.47lbs.
Weight Limit
Our cart used to have a 150lb weight limit. This limit has been increased and the calculator and handle thousands of pounds.
General Calculation
Here is how our freight is calculated: actual freight + insurance + $1.50 handling and materials + hazmat charges (if applicable)
Please note:
1. All orders are sent out with insurance.
2. $1.50 replaces the $2.25 order fee, however it will be more strictly enforced.
Does 4ManDomeTents.com ship internationally?
No, 4ManDomeTents.com only ships to the contiguous 48 states and to Alaska and Hawaii.
Why?
Compliance with regulations added countless hours to processing international orders. Our prices are too low to justify spending the time and effort it takes to ship compliant international packages.
