I ordered something from the States last year (Hoberman Megasphere to be precise) and because the box was just a little over the required dimensions to get a cheaper rate, it went into the next category. Yes, the formula used the height, width and length, and mine came up a couple of inches too big. This made the postage more than the cost of the item...something like US$200 to ship an item costing about US$100. Fortunately, the person at the other end shopped around for me and managed to get it delivered here for just under US$100. The item only weighed about 4kg too!
