Volumetric Weight

Sometimes a parcel isn’t very heavy but is still quite big. If this is this case, we work out the parcel’s “volumetric weight”. We calculate this by taking the volume of the parcel and dividing it by 5000 i.e.

Length x width x height5000

= 14kg

So if you have a 5kg parcel that is 100cm long, 35cm wide and 20cm high, the volumetric weight would be:

100 x 35 x 205000

= 14kg

Maximum size – 300cm

The maximum acceptable length and girth of a parcel is 300cm.

This is calculated by:

  1. Adding together the 2 shortest sides
  2. Multiplying by 2
  3. Then adding the longest side

For example:

  1. 35 + 20 = 55
  2. 55 x 2 = 110
  3. 110 + 100 = 210cm
