- Volumetric weight, also known as dimensional weight, is a measure used to evaluate the occupancy that an object or a set of objects has in a means of transport, taking into account its physical space .
- The volumetric weight calculation is based on a formula that takes into account the dimensions of the object or set of objects. By calculating volumetric weight, companies can determine the amount of space a load will occupy on a transport vehicle. This allows for more efficient planning, avoiding waste of valuable space and optimizing the carrying capacity of each trip.
How to calculate Volumetric weight?
Multiply the length, width, and height of the package (each rounded up to the nearest whole centimeter, if there are any fractions of weight, round them up to the next full kilogram) and divide the value by the weight divisor applicable.
Weight divisor is on the basis of the plan that the seller opts for. Here is the list of services along with its respective weight divisors:
For,
- Surface: 4000
- Air: 5000
- B2B: 4500
- Next Day Delivery (NDD): 5000
- Same Day Delivery (SDD): 5000
