I don't have the actually dimension scale they use but as they measure height, depth and width and use a total dimensional measurement to achieve shipping cost in addition to weight going from a full size wardrobe box to one cut down places you in a different shipping bracket which makes a fairly large factor in pricing!
When I shipped the very first time with them and had a great FedEX employee explain this to me and offer to cut down the box to accomplish this I always go into the same FedEX location and always take the previous billing invoice and/or have them look it up on my account for the previous shipping information so the fee is always the same!
As I live in Quincy California and do service calls on slots in the Reno area I always time my shipping with service calls and always go to the same FedEX terminal in Reno as well!
If you do your homework on their rates they are the best way to go IMHO!
