What is Volumetric Weight?
Volumetric weight, also known as dimensional weight, is a method couriers use to calculate shipping costs based on the size of a parcel rather than just its actual weight. This means that even if your parcel is lightweight, you may be charged more if it is large and takes up more space during transportation.
Couriers compare the actual weight and volumetric weight of a parcel, and the higher value will be used to determine the shipping cost.
For Example:
Let’s say you’re sending a big but light box:
- Length: 50 cm
- Width: 30 cm
- Height: 50 cm
(50 × 30 × 50) ÷ 5000 = 15.0 kg (Volumetric Weight)
Now imagine the actual weight is only 8 kg. Because the volumetric weight is higher, the courier will charge based on 15.0 kg.
