Our edge protectors ship at class 55.
Freight classes are designed to help you get common standardized
freight pricing for your shipment when working with different carriers,
warehouses and brokers. Freight classes are defined by the National
Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) and made available through the NMFC or National Motor Freight Classification.
Freight classes (there are 18 of them) are based on weight, length
and height, density, ease of handling, value and liability from things
like theft, damage, break-ability and spoilage. For the most part, the
lower the NMFC class number, the lower the freight charge. Using the wrong freight class will cost you. If you incorrectly classify your item, it can be reclassified by the freight carrier. Disputing
this is difficult, time consuming and you will be charged the difference
(usually without a discount).
