Price Adjustment Notice for Thalea Bar Stools(Sets)

Due to recent updates to shipping surcharge policies from major carriers FedEx and UPS, we regret to inform you of a necessary price adjustment for our bar stools, effective following the implementation of these new rules.
Per the latest regulations:
  • FedEx: New shipping rate structures, including revised oversize surcharge rules, will take effect starting January 12, 2026 .
  • UPS: The previously scheduled update to "Additional Handling Service (AHS) and Oversize (OS) Surcharge Rules" – originally set for August 17, 2025 – has been delayed to December 22, 2025, or later .
Both carriers now classify packages with a cubic volume exceeding 17,280 cubic inches (calculated as length × width × height) as oversize, triggering mandatory oversize surcharges . Our bar stool shipments, when packaged in sets of two, exceed this cubic volume threshold, resulting in unavoidable additional shipping costs.
Consequently, we will implement a price adjustment of $50 per 2 bar stools following the effective dates of the carriers’ new policies. This adjustment directly offsets the oversize surcharges imposed by FedEx and UPS, ensuring we can continue to provide reliable delivery services.

We appreciate your understanding as we navigate these industry-wide shipping cost adjustments. Please contact our customer service team with any questions.
