What is volume weight
The volumetric weight is a calculation that takes into account not only the actual weight of the parcel, but also its size. If a box is large but lightweight, it can still take up a lot of space in transportation, so its shipping cost is determined by volumetric weight. To calculate it, multiply the length, width, and height of the box in inches and divide by 5000.
The cost of transportation is determined by the greater of the physical or volumetric weight.
My package is bigger than the maximum allowed size or weight. What to do
If your package exceeds the maximum allowed size or weight, consider splitting it into two smaller boxes. For very large shipments that require a pallet, please use our cargo service.
How to pack a parcel properly
To pack a parcel properly, use a sturdy box, wrap each item with bubble wrap or padding, and fill any empty spaces to prevent movement. Seal the box securely with strong tape.
