When a receiver's address is incorrect on the airbill, Airborne Express will make every effort to determine the correct address and deliver the shipment as quickly as possible. There is a charge of $10 USD per correction for this service. Examples of incorrect addresses are: Using an old address when the receiver has relocated; transposing numbers in a street address; using P.O. box numbers; using incorrect postal codes. If Airborne Express is unable to determine the correct address or to locate the receiver, Airborne Express will contact the sender for further instructions. Airborne Express will not be liable or responsible for meeting its scheduled delivery commitment for any shipment that is incorrectly addressed. |

|
|
Airborne Express may, at its discretion, advance the following charges on behalf of the sender or receiver: Prior transportation, cartage, storage, loading, unloading, packaging and processing not performed by Airborne Express, and government duties and customs fees. For each advancement of charges, the fee for the cost of administration will be $2 USD per $100 USD of amount advanced or fraction thereof, with a minimum charge of $5 USD. |
|
|
|
Transportation charges will be based on the chargeable weight, which is the greater of actual, cubic/volume, or the higher weight used as defined below. |
|
|
Weight Or Volume Charges: |
|
|
Pounds - when applicable rates and charges are published per pound(s), charges will be assessed on the gross weight of the shipment except as otherwise provided. Fractions of a pound will be increased to the next higher pound. |
|
|
Cubic inches/pound - charges for a shipment with cubic measurements exceeding 166 cubic inches per pound will be based on 1 pound for each 166 cubic inches. Fractions of a pound will be charged at the next higher pound. Cubic measurements will be based on the product of the greatest length times the greatest width times the greatest height of each piece contained in the shipment. |
|
|
EXAMPLE: A 100-lb. shipment with 3 pieces with measurements of: 1@ 12 x 12 x 24 = 3,456 cubic inches. 1@ 15 x 16 x 20 = 4,800 cubic inches and 1@ 16 x 18 x 40 = 11,520 cubic inches. Total cubic inches 19,776 / 166 = 119.13 lbs. rounded to 120 lbs. |
|
|
EXCEPTION: Volume charges for Canadian, Puerto Rican and Virgin Islands shipments will be based on 1 lb. for each 194 cubic inches. |
|
|
Kilograms - when rates and charges are published per kilogram(s), charges will be assessed on the gross weight of the shipment. Fractions of a kilogram will be increased to the next higher kilogram. |
|
|
Cubic inches/kilogram - charges for a shipment with cubic measurements exceeding 366 cubic inches per kilogram will be based on one kilogram for each 366 cubic inches. Fractions of a kilogram will be charged at the next higher kilogram. Cubic measurements will be based on the product of the greatest length times the greatest width times the greatest height of the shipment or each piece contained in the shipment. |
|
|
EXCEPTION: Volume charges for Canadian, Puerto Rican and Virgin Islands shipments will be based on 1 kilogram for each 428 cubic inches. |
|
|
|
|
Cubic centimeters/kilograms - charges for a shipment with cubic measurements exceeding 6,000 cubic centimeters per kilogram will be based on one kilogram for each 6,000 cubic centimeters. Fractions of a kilogram will be charged at the next higher kilogram. Cubic measurements will be based on the product of the greatest length times the greatest width times the greatest height of the shipment or each piece contained in the shipment. |
|
|
EXCEPTION: Volume charges for Canadian, Puerto Rican and Virgin Islands shipments will be based on 1 kilogram for each 7,000 cubic centimeters. |
|
|
NOTE: To convert pounds to kilograms, divide the pound figure by 2.2046; to convert kilograms to pounds, multiply the kilogram figure by 2.2046. |
|
|
Disposition Of Fractions: For determining charges the following shall apply: |
|
|
When computation of rates or charges results in an amount ending in a fraction of one-half cent ($ 5) or greater, such fraction will be increased to the next higher cent. |
|
|
EXAMPLE: $13.065 = $13.07. |
|
|
Fractions of a pound will be increased to the next higher pound. Fractions of a kilogram will be increased to the next higher kilogram. |
|
|
Before computing cubic dimensions, fractions of less than one-half inch will be dropped and fractions of one-half inch or more will be considered as one inch. Fractions of less than one-half centimeter will be dropped and fractions of one-half centimeter or more will be considered as one centimeter. |
|

|
|
|
Unless a higher value is declared for carriage on the face of the airbill at the time of issuance, the shipment shall have a released value of $9.07 USD per pound ($20 USD per kilogram), or applicable Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) as stated in the Montreal Protocol. |
|
|
When the total declared value for carriage is more than $20 USD per kilogram ($9.07 USD per pound), a valuation charge will be assessed at the rate of $.50 USD per $100 USD, or fraction thereof, by which such value exceeds $20 USD per kilogram ($9.07 USD per pound), subject to a minimum charge of $2.50 USD. The maximum shipment valuation for declared value is $25,000 USD. |

All charges applicable to a collect shipment shall be billed to the receiver, except Airborne Express will not transport on a charges collect basis shipments consigned to private parties (individuals) not representing a business. |
|
|
If the sender or receiver designates a third party billing on the airbill, Airborne Express will invoice the third party in accordance with such instruction, but such designation shall not relieve the sender and receiver from liability for payment in the event the third party fails to pay Airborne Express' invoice upon demand. Airborne Express will refuse shipments that are billed to a third party located in a country other than the country of origin or destination of the shipment and will refuse all shipments third party billed to a private party (individual) not representing a business. |
|
|
Credit will be extended for fifteen (15) days from the date of invoice. If timely payment of charges is not made, Airborne Express shall be entitled to recover from sender and receiver the reasonable attorney's and collection fees incurred by Airborne Express in collecting the charges. |

|
|
Sender and receiver shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all unpaid charges, advances, and fees of Airborne Express.

Airborne Express will not be obligated to incur any expense or advance any money in connection with the transportation of the shipment by other carriers, or to pay any duties, taxes or other charges when the same shall not have been previously advanced by the sender. |
|
|
Airborne Express will decline to transport the following shipments on a C.O.D. basis or charges collect: |

|
|
P.O.D. (verbal or written) from a carrier to points that are transhipped through London, England costs $25 USD. |
|
|
EXCEPTION: No charge will be assessed when proof of delivery is provided in defense of a written claim. |
|
|
|
If the weight-rate charge for a given weight is greater than the weight-rate charge for a higher weight, for a shipment of like kind between the same two points, then the lower charge takes precedence. Weight-rate charge is defined as the charge resulting from the weight times the applicable rate. |
|
|
EXAMPLE: If the rate for a 90-kilogram shipment is $3.44 USD per kilogram, and the 100-kilogram rate between the same two points is $3.07 USD, the latter would apply (i.e. $3.07 x 100 = $307, which is less than 90 x $3.44 = $309.60). |
|
|
|
When delivery to a residence is requested, a charge of $5 USD per shipment will apply in addition to all other applicable charges. |
|
|
|
If the sender fails to record the weight of the shipment on the airbill at the time of tender, Airborne Express may, at its discretion, apply either a default weight or an additional service charge. |
|
|
Airborne Express reserves the right to re-weigh shipments at any time prior to completion of delivery. If the indicated weight is in error, Airborne Express may make corrections on the airbill, manifest, or other alternative shipping document or invoice. |
