Volumetric weight,
sometimes called "dim" or dimensional weight, is used when the space
a package takes on an aircraft may cost more than the package's
actual weight.
You should calculate dimensional weight on every shipment, and compare
that to its actual weight, and use the greater of the two to determine
your shipping cost. International volumetric weights are calculated
using the formula below.
Length x Width x
Height in centimetres / 6000 = Volumetric Weight in kgs. If you have
