I did some research out of curiosity.

“Maximum Parcel Weight
Pieces going to a domestic location may not weigh more than 70 pounds.
Lower maximum weight standards may apply to mail addressed to some APOs, FPOs, and DPOs.
The maximum weight of a parcel bound for an international destination varies based on country. This can be determined through the Postage Calculator.
Overweight charge - Any item exceeding the 70-pound Postal Service Maximum weight limit is nonmailable. Overweight items identified in the postal network will be assessed an overweight item charge payable before release of the item, unless the item is discovered at the same facility it was entered. Postage and fees refunds are not available.”

1.2.3 Fee
[1-24-21] Except for an overweight or oversize item discovered and picked up at the same facility where it was entered, the overweight/oversize item fee of $100 will be assessed and must be paid before release of the item. The $100 overweight/oversize item fee may be paid by any authorized retail payment method or through PostalOne!.
That’s screwed.
Looks like the package won’t be released unless someone pays 100$ flat out unfortunately.
They don’t scale at all locations it seems. Good luck gents, if I was the sender I would personally work a deal with ya. Hopefully you guys work it out
I would be worried about fees/fines to the sender if the package is rejected, they won’t ship it back period because it’s over weight. I have no clue what they will do if both parties reject.
Looks like you have the option to pay 25$ more then the agreed price (assuming you got a refund from OP) or walk away.
I got No idea what OP options are
