What are the size restrictions for FedEx First Overnight, FedEx Priority Overnight, and FedEx 2Day?

• A. Weight cannot exceed 150 pounds and length plus girth cannot exceed 165 inches
• B. Maximum weight 70 pounds
• C. Length must be under 108 inches
• D. No size restrictions

Answer: (A)

FedEx express shipments are limited by both weight and overall size. The weight limit is 150 pounds, and the size limit uses a length plus girth rule: the package’s length plus its girth cannot exceed 165 inches. To apply this, take the longest dimension as the length, compute girth as 2 times the sum of the other two dimensions (2×(width + height)), and add them together. If length plus girth is 165 inches or less and the weight is 150 pounds or less, the shipment meets the restrictions. For example, a box 60 inches long, 24 inches wide, and 12 inches high has girth 2×(24+12)=72 inches; total = 60+72 = 132 inches, which is within the limit. The other options miss either the combined size rule, the weight limit, or both, so they don’t describe the actual restrictions.
