There has been some concern regarding overseas long delivery mileage from SIT that has been brought to our attention from the PPSO level. Because of the multiple locations in overseas countries with the same city name, our billing policy is that we do not automatically bill for long deliveries over 30 miles for baggage shipments or over 50 miles for HHG shipments, with the exception of Korea.
