40 foot container shipments - charged for extra weight?

9 years ago
Wondering if anyone paid any additional fees for "extra weight" as determined from their shipping company?

We had a company pack us & move us, door-to-door, & they insinuated that the extra fees were coming from the Uruguay movers. Well this turned out to not be the case, the extra fees were charged by them. They did pack us so I have no idea if this was part of the extra fees (I.e. More people for a longer period of time & more packing supplies).

I'd appreciate hearing other people's experiences. I have never done an international move before so not sure that this isn't a way to insert additional profit at our expense.
