Understand How Courier Charges Are Calculated
Courier • Cargo • Logistics
Volumetric Weight, also known as Dimensional Weight, is a standard method used by courier and logistics companies to calculate shipping charges based on the space occupied by a package rather than its actual weight.
This ensures fair pricing for lightweight but bulky shipments. The chargeable weight is always the higher value between the actual weight and the volumetric weight.
Example:
50cm × 40cm × 30cm ÷ 5000
= 12 Kg Volumetric Weight
