expect delivery\u00a0within 3\u00a0days\u00a0as the standard. So, getting the delivery experience right is important for building a loyal customer base. To tailor a positive delivery experience for your customers, there is one rule above all: Quote and book the delivery with accurate weight. But wait &#8211;\u00a0 wondering when you should book with actual weight \/ volumetric weight? Let us guide you on that to avoid misdeclared weight which will cause a parcel delay (and yay, a poor delivery experience for shoppers)! Table of Contents What is Actual Weight and Volumetric Weight? Actual Weight Actual Weight\u00a0is the true weight of the package as it says on the weighing scale. For example, a parcel weighs 1kg because the weighing scale indicates 1kg. Volumetric Weight Volumetric Weight\u00a0is how much space the parcel\u00a0occupies according to its dimensions. For example, an item\u00a0in a big box weighs 1kg on the scale but its\u00a0package volume can equivalent to 5kg. Which You Should Use To Quote For Courier Booking? STEP 1:\u00a0Measure the actual weight with a weighing scale. Be sure that the packaging is included in the weight as well. STEP 2:\u00a0Calculate the volumetric weight of your parcel using its dimensions (length, width, and height). If you have no idea how it can be calculated, use our\u00a0volumetric calculator\u00a0that available for free. STEP 3:\u00a0Quote and book\u00a0your parcel\u00a0with the weight that whichever higher. For example, the actual weight is 2kg and the volumetric weight is 6kg, then just quote with volumetric weight.
