Have more questions about shipping to USA?
Check when your parcel will reach USA based on your dispatch date
Dates are estimates and may vary due to customs processing, weather, or holidays. Actual delivery times depend on carrier performance.
Calculate the volumetric weight of your shipment to USA to understand your chargeable weight.
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
Extra Charges Apply If:
- Any single parcel weighs more than 25 KG
- Any one side of the parcel exceeds 100 CM
