Renowned for offering the most affordable and reliable international courier services, trusted by over 1,00,000 happy customers across India, we specialize in delivering packages safely and on time to destinations across the globe. When it comes to shipping charges, it’s important to know that carriers calculate costs not just on the actual weight of the package but also on the volumetric weight—the space your parcel occupies. For instance, lightweight items like cushions, teddy bears, or pillows may weigh very little on a scale but occupy a larger space in transit, resulting in higher volumetric weight charges. This pricing method ensures fairness, efficiency, and optimized use of cargo space. With our transparent pricing, expert packaging solutions, and dedicated customer support, we make sure you get the best value for money while your parcels reach loved ones or business partners without hassle.
How to Calculate Volumetric Weight for International Courier
To get the volume of a box, multiply its length, width, and height and divide it by 5000; the outcome of this sum is the volume weight of the box. Measuring the dimensions for a parcel in centimetre is common in courier world.
Volumetric weight calculator (in cms)
1) Measure three dimensions of the box (length, width, height) and multiply them.
2) If you have measured the dimensions in centimetres, then attain the result by dividing by 5000 (with EU economy services divide by 4000)
3) When your scale of measurement is in inches, then get the result by dividing by 305 (with EU economy services divide by 245)
4) The outcome of this calculation is the volumetric weight of your box.
After comparing the volumetric weight to the actual weight of the box, the courier will take the higher side from the two as chargeable weight (this is also known as billable weight).
