FAQ
Volumetric Weight Calculator — Frequently Asked Questions
What is volumetric weight?
Volumetric weight is a calculated shipping weight based on the amount of space a shipment occupies rather than only its physical weight.
What is chargeable weight?
Chargeable weight is typically the higher value between actual shipment weight and volumetric weight.
Why do carriers use a volumetric divisor?
The divisor converts shipment dimensions into an equivalent shipping weight. Different carriers and transport methods may use different divisors.
Can I calculate multiple cartons?
Yes. Enter the quantity when all cartons have the same dimensions. The calculator will calculate the total shipment volume and volumetric weight.
Does every courier use the same divisor?
No. Divisors can vary by courier, service, country and transport mode. Always confirm the applicable divisor with your carrier when preparing a shipment.
