Why am I being charged an "additional handling surcharge - Freight" on my invoice?

A surcharge applies to a shipment that includes any freight handling unit measuring greater than 157 centimeters along its longest side. This additional handling charge is designed to account for the special handling requirements of larger freight items during transit.

We reserve the right to assess additional handling charges for both freight shipments and any freight handling units that require special handling during transit.
