Worked example
For example, with length of 30 cm, width of 20 cm, height of 10 cm and volumetric divisor of 5,000, the volumetric weight is 1.20.
| Length | 30 cm |
|---|---|
| Width | 20 cm |
| Height | 10 cm |
| Volumetric divisor | 5,000 |
| Volumetric weight | 1.20 |

Frequently asked questions
Multiply length × width × height in cm and divide by the carrier's divisor. A 30 × 20 × 10 cm box at 5000 is 1.2 kg volumetric weight.
Light but bulky parcels take up space. Carriers charge on whichever is greater — actual or volumetric weight.
Common air-freight divisors are 5000 or 6000. Check your carrier, since it sets the figure used for billing.
Use smaller, well-fitted packaging. Removing empty space lowers the dimensions and the volumetric weight.
