When ordering games from PrizeWheel.com, you may notice that shipping costs can be significantly higher than expected. This is often due to a combination of dimensional weight and oversized shipment surcharges, two common practices used by carriers to account for the true cost of transporting bulky items.
This is especially true for our Large Prize Wheel, Extra Large Prize Wheel, Large Prize Drop, and the Travel Case for the Large Prize Wheel, all of which incur higher shipping costs due to their size. If shipping costs exceed your budget, we recommend considering a smaller game or opting out of a travel case to help reduce expenses.
We are transparent about how shipping costs are calculated. While we try to keep keep our product weights low for ease of transport and handling, their large dimensions often result in higher shipping fees.
These shipping charges aren’t arbitrary—they reflect real logistics costs that carriers pass along based on size, space, and handling requirements.Tips for Managing Shipping Costs
Here are a few ways to reduce or manage shipping expenses:
- Opt for smaller sizes when portability and budget are top priorities. Our Small and Medium Prize Wheels are compact and less expensive to ship.
- Use carrying bags (available for Small and Medium Prize Wheels) instead of hard cases when possible, to reduce dimensional size.
