Dimensional weight, or volumetric weight, is used by shipping carriers to calculate fees based on package size, not just actual weight. This ensures bulky, lightweight shipments are fairly priced. Carriers charge whichever is greater—your package’s actual (physical) weight or its dimensional weight.
Use the calculator above to quickly find the chargeable weight of your shipment.
In centimeters: Length × Width × Height ÷ 5000 = kilograms
In inches: Length × Width × Height ÷ 139 = pounds
Dimensional weight is a pricing method used by carriers to account for package size in addition to actual weight.
Use custom-sized packaging and avoid bulky boxes to reduce dimensional weight.
Looking forward to connecting!
