Hello Timothy, great question! The U Crate 100 is about 120 lbs and is not included in your 1000lbs weight limit, so some good news there!
Happy packing and let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers

We purchased a U100 Pallet kit and are filling it up. Does the 1,000 lb weight limit include the weight of the pallet kit, or is that excluded? And if it does count, can you tell us the approximate weight of the kit? Thank you.

In reply to Jenny Harland.

Hello Jenny, thank you for the message. We service Australia and New Zealand ourselves actually, we are just updating the prices at the moment which is why there are no prices online. If you complete our quote form though on the web site, we will email you some prices and options.

I am looking for the most reliable but affordable way to ship my items to PERTH, AUSTRALIA by shipping container (there is no rush).. I love the services offered by YouPakWeShip but they only serve the EU and UK. Is there an equivalent company that also services moves to Australia? Thank you!

Hello. We received our crates and have begun to pack them. There is not outside label for the crate in the materials that were sent. The label was not sent by email to be printed and attached. Does Upakweship send this by email when I give a collection date or does the collection driver bring the label to attach to each crate before they are loaded?

In reply to Aneeza Pasha-Stamm.

Hello Aneeza, best way is to weight each piece on a bathroom scale or weigh yourself and then hold each item.
Having said that most people do not go over the 1000lbs unless you are shipping a lot of books or gym weights or something real heavy.
If you do go over the weight limit we charge an additional $2 per pound for each pound over weight.
I hope that helps,
Cheers
