Frequently asked questions
What is volumetric weight?
It is the space a package takes up, divided by a divisor set by the carrier. Carriers bill by whichever is higher: the volumetric weight or the actual weight.
How is volumetric weight calculated?
Multiply length, width and height (in centimeters) and divide the volume by the carrier's divisor.
How is the chargeable weight decided?
The higher of the volumetric weight and the actual weight is used, and the result is rounded up. For example, a package that comes to 8.2 is billed as 9.
Which divisor should I enter?
The divisor differs by carrier and marketplace. Take it from the terms the company publishes; this tool does not assume a divisor on its own.
Is the information I enter stored?
No. The calculation runs in your browser; none of the values you enter is sent to a server or saved.
