Chargeable Mass
Sometimes, large items with a light overall weight can be charged according to the space they take up on aircraft. In these cases, Volumetric Weight, or Dimensional (Dim) Weight, is used to calculate the shipment cost.
It is recommended that you calculate the Volumetric Weight for every shipment that you send, then compare this to its actual weight. The greater weight of the two is used to work out the price that we charge you.
Please note that the chargeable mass is calculated using a volumetric factor of 4000 for Express Shipments and 3000 for Economy Shipments. A different volumetric factor may apply to your personalised rates.
