Measure the outside.
Use the longest outside length, width, and height after the item is packed. Handles, wheels, pockets, and bulging sides can affect the carrier measurement.

Start with your itemRound up.
Round each measurement up to the nearest inch. If an item is close to a limit, treating it as the larger size is safer.
Weigh the packed item.
Use the packed weight, not the empty suitcase or box weight. Shoes, books, and sports gear can quickly change the quote.
Watch oversize items.
Golf clubs, skis, snowboards, and large boxes can trigger oversize review because dimensions matter as much as weight.
Use photos when unsure.
A photo can help LuggEasy review unusual shapes, packaging, or sports equipment before payment or label release.
Save repeat items.
Frequent travelers can save item profiles so future round trips and repeat shipments require less typing.
