How to calculate the volumetric weight of your shipping box
Volumetric weight is a way shipping companies account for the space a parcel box size occupies. If your parcel is light but bulky, the cost of shipping might be based on its volumetric weight rather than its actual weight because it takes up more room in the transport.
Knowing your volumetric weight, in addition to the physical width, length, and height of your shipping box sizes, helps you anticipate potential shipping costs, especially for lighter, larger items. By calculating it, you can understand if you'll be charged based on the space your box size uses.
Here's how to calculate volumetric weight:
Volumetric weight in kg = Length x Width x Height in centimetres/5,000
