Critical Concepts to understand when obtaining an Air Parcel or Air Freight Quote:

Chargeable Weight:  The greater of the actual weight or dimensional weight.  For parcel shipments dimensional weight is approximately 13 lbs per cubic foot; for freight service to air terminal dimensional weight is generally rated at 10.4 lbs per cubic foot; 

Dangerous Goods:  Anything with potential flammability, including batteries, liquids and gasses; anything that is pressurized or explosive can be prohibited or restricted.  The shipper is required to disclose any Dangerous Goods, under penalty of law.

Air Parcel Services are limited to packed pieces of less than 150 lbs of chargeable weight and other dimensional restrictions.  

Air Freight Services are generally for pieces of more than 150 lbs or multi-piece shipments where piece of more or less than 150 lbs may be grouped together on a pallet or packed inside a crate.
