How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Verify the item is a newspaper or magazine vending machine and that each unit is packed in a box to use the fixed Class 110 under NMFC 124610.
- Inside the box, immobilize doors and coin mechanisms, pad viewing windows, and fill voids with dense foam or honeycomb to control the center of gravity.
- Place the boxed machine on a pallet when possible, then strap and wrap to prevent tip‑over through cross-docks; add up‑arrows and tip indicators for clarity.
- On the BOL, list “NMFC 124610, Machines, newspaper or magazine vending, boxed, Class 110, non-hazardous” and note handling instructions like Do Not Stack if required.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 110 removes density workups, accelerating quotes and reducing reclass risk and fees.
- Boxed, non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and simplifies network planning for rollouts and replacements.
- Purposeful boxing and palletization cut touchpoints and damage claims on coin doors, windows, and locks.
- Consistent classification across single-title boxes and multi-title racks streamlines multi-stop LTL deployments and rate negotiations.
