If you're shipping large parcels, many courier companies will determine your shipping fees
based on the dimensions of your parcel rather than its 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.
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.
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.
You need to multiply the length, width, and height of the parcel. For example, 30x30x50.
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.
If the calculated volumetric weight exceeds the actual weight, your shipment will be invoiced based on the volumetric weight.
