Show Small Package carrier for oversized carts
On the Carrier edit page navigate to Optional tab in which you could tick “Show this Carrier even when over Freight Weight Threshold” checkbox. Checking this on will show this carrier in the event that the cart is too heavy but keep in mind your maximum carrier shipment must still be high enough for this cart.
