- exceed the maximum weight
- exceed the maximum dimensions
- are packed in a way that makes it impossible or hard to automatically sort them

How you can avoid a surcharge
To avoid an additional fee:
- pack the parcel correctly
- pack a product of irregular shape into a rectangular cardboard box that does not exceed the maximum dimensions for a given carrier
- adjust the thickness and type of cardboard, filling, and protection to the product you want to dispatch — consider its dimensions, shape, weight, and fragility
- place the shipping label on the biggest side of the parcel so that is fully visible and not folded.
How to pack problematic products
Parcels containing products such as tires or liquids must be appropriately packaged. Learn how to correctly and safely dispatch this type of orders to avoid surcharges.
How to pack tires if you dispatch them with DPD
Tires must be:
- packed sperately
- wrapped with tape to which you stick the label.
Place the label so that:
- the barcode is on the tire shoulder
- it is not covered with tape
- it is not folded — especially in the barcode area.
How to pack liquids if you dispatch them with InPost
Liquids must be:
- protected from spilling — wrap the bottle cap with tape or foil
- sent in a maximum capacity of 5 liters per parcel
of the substance type that is approved for dispatch.
