Volumetric Weight

Volumetric Weightis calculated from
dimensions (L×B×H ÷ 5000).
Volumetric weight reflects how much space your shipment occupies in a courier’s vehicle, not just how heavy it is.
Why this matters :
  • Couriers always charge for the higher of actual or volumetric weight.
  • Ignoring this may lead to weight disputes or extra surcharges.
  • Reducing your volumetric weight through smart packaging directly cuts shipping costs.
Did you know?Many brands overpay 8–15% in shipping costs due to packaging inefficiency. Understanding volumetric weight helps avoid that
