Why does the shipping weight state 30 lbs. or 70 lbs. when the item weighs less than that?

Most major shipping carriers base their shipping rates on both the size and weight of the package, using a dimensional weight formula (typically, length x width x height divided by a dimensional weight divisor). If the dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight, the shipping cost is determined using the dimensional weight.

Additional surcharges may also be applied on packages that exceed other size limits as specified by the carrier.
