What is volumetric weight?

Volumetric weight, also called dimensional weight, is a pricing method used by shipping companies to account for parcel size rather than only the physical mass. A large but lightweight box can take up valuable cargo space, so couriers often compare actual weight against dimensional weight and bill the higher number.

For standard parcel shipments, the common formula uses centimeters and divides by 5000. That makes it quick to estimate whether a package is efficient to ship or may require packaging adjustments.

FAQ

How do I calculate volumetric weight?+

Multiply the package length, width, and height in centimeters, then divide the result by 5000. The answer is your volumetric weight in kilograms.

Why is volumetric weight used by couriers?+

It reflects how much space a parcel occupies. Large but lightweight packages can cost more to ship than their actual scale weight would suggest.

What if the actual weight is higher?+

Carriers usually charge the greater value between actual weight and dimensional weight, so the billable weight is the higher one.
