Formula and scope
Measure the outside of the packed parcel in centimetres. Packaging counts too. This calculator uses a divisor of 3000; check your agreement, especially for international shipping.
The larger of volumetric and actual weight becomes the billing basis. Choose rounding to match your contract. Enter your own unit price. This is not a carrier quote; minimum charges, remote-area fees, fuel and VAT may apply separately.
