What is volumetric weight?

The volumetric weight calculator calculates the weight of a parcel based on its size, not just its
actual weight. Different couriers use various formulas for this. Some even have different
formulas for express and economy services.

What is the reason for charging for

volumetric weight?

Bigger items take up more space on vehicles or aircraft, so shipping
costs are higher. If an item is large but light, you'll pay based on its size, not weight.

Calculation for Courier Delivery

Courier companies use various methods to calculate volumetric weight, but a common one is multiplying parcel
dimensions in centimeters and dividing by the applicable divisor, specific to the courier partner,
to determine chargeable volumetric weight.

01

Multiply all 3 Dimensions

You need to multiply the length, width, and height of the parcel. For example, 30x30x50.

02

Divide the answer by the appropriate divisor

For Small Shipments (0-20 kg) & For Heavy Shipments (20 kg onwards): Divide by 5,000; for Multi-package shipments: Divide by 4,750 This is your volumetric weight in kilograms.

03

Compare with the actual weight of the shipment

If the calculated volumetric weight exceeds the actual weight, your shipment will be invoiced based on the volumetric weight.
