DIMENSIONAL WEIGHT
To determine the cost of shipping, the greater of the actual weight or dimensional weight is utilized. The following are formulas for the dimensional weight in lbs. and kg*
Volume Weight (Dimensional Weight) –
How Shipping is Calculated
When shipping by air, your parcel is charged based on the greater of actual weight or volume weight (also called dimensional weight)
Volume Weight Formula:
In KG:
Length × Width × Height (in cm) ÷ 5000
Example:
If your box is 40 × 30 × 50 cm, then:
Volume weight = 40 × 30 × 50 ÷ 5000 = 12 kg
If actual weight is 8 kg, we will charge for 12 kg (the higher one).
