How Volumetric Weight Works

Formula: (Length × Width × Height in cm) ÷ 5000 = Volumetric Weight (kg)

Courier companies charge based on actual weight OR volumetric weight, whichever is higher. This is called the "chargeable weight" or "billable weight."

Example: A box measuring 50×40×30 cm has volumetric weight of 12 kg. If the actual weight is 5 kg, you'll be charged for 12 kg.

Tips to Reduce Volumetric Weight
  • Use the smallest box that fits your items snugly
  • Avoid excessive void fill and padding
  • Consider vacuum-sealing soft items like clothing
  • Disassemble items when possible to reduce dimensions
