Understanding Weight Calculation
Shipping costs are based on either actual weightvolumetric weight—whichever is greater.
Volumetric Weight Formula:
Length (cm) × Width (cm) × Height (cm) ÷ 5,000 = Volumetric Weight (kg)
Example:
If your consolidated package measures 40×30×20 cm:
Volumetric weight = (40 × 30 × 20) ÷ 5,000 = 4.8 kg
If actual weight is 3.5 kg, you'll be charged for 4.8 kg (the higher value)
