Fee examples
Example 1: Standard-size item, shipping weight of 0.5+ to 1.0 lb
You decide to request the disposal of two standard-size units, and each unit has a shipping weight of 0.56 lb. The unit's shipping weight is rounded up to 0.6 lb. Given that the unit has a shipping weight between 0.5 and 1 lb, the per-unit disposal fee is $0.75. You will be charged a disposal fee of $0.75 per unit, for a total of $1.50, when the disposal order is complete.
Example 2: Oversize item, shipping weight over 10.0 lb
You decide to request the disposal of three oversize units, and each unit has a shipping weight of 10.1 lb. The unit's shipping weight is rounded up to 11 lb. The resulting per-unit disposal fee will be $7.88 ($7.25 for the first 10 lb and $0.63 for the additional 1 lb). You will be charged a disposal fee of $7.88 per unit, for a total of $23.64, when the disposal order is complete.
