Volumetric weight is the measure of the density of a package. This can also be known as dimensional weight and is used by couriers and shipping services to calculate how much to charge for a shipment. Whichever is the highest out of the actual weight and volumetric weight of the parcel will be used to calculate the shipping charge.
This means shippers can make consignments cost-effective. Charging the actual weight can make a shipment of large but lightweight items unsustainable.
The final volumetric weight for your package will be influenced by the shipping service used and this range shows the top and bottom values for the dimensions entered. The weight calculation used can be clarified by the Service Centre during the estimate process.
