What type of pricing is applied to parcels weighing less than 20lbs but exceeding 84 inches in combined length and girth?

Balloon pricing applies to parcels that are lightweight but take up a larger amount of space, which in this case refers to parcels weighing less than 20 lbs that exceed 84 inches in combined length and girth. This pricing strategy is designed to account for the space that packages occupy in shipping, rather than just their weight. It helps carriers optimize cargo capacity by ensuring that larger packages contribute to shipping costs appropriately.

When a package is categorized under balloon pricing, it effectively reflects the fact that even though the item is not heavy, its size could impact the transport process, potentially preventing other packages from being loaded efficiently. Therefore, it helps maintain a balance in pricing for shipping services, considering both weight and dimensional size.
