How to Calculate & Use Volumetric Weight
Volumetric weight reflects the cubic space a package occupies during transit relative to its physical density. Measure the outer Length, Width, and Height in centimeters, multiply them together to calculate total volume, and divide by 5000. Couriers compare this against the physical dead weight on a scale and always invoice on whichever value is higher.
