Volumetric Weight is calculated using the formula below:
Multiply each dimension Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Height (cm) then divide by 6000 this will give the equivalent volumetric Weight in kg.
FOR EXAMPLE:
A parcel measuring 60cm x 60cm x 60cm would have a volumetric weight of 36kg.
60 x 60 x 60 = 216 000
216 000 ÷ 6000 = 36kg
It is recommended that you calculate the Volumetric Weight for every parcel that you send, then compare this to its actual weight. The greater weight of the two is used to calculate the price that we charge you. |
