4. Volume weight and Volume Reduction:

The volumetric weight of a shipment is a calculation that reflects the density of a package. A less dense item generally occupies more volume of space in comparison to its actual weight. The volumetric or dimensional weight will calculate and compare with the shipment’s actual weight to ascertain which is greater; that will calculate the shipment cost. The formula for calculating volumetric weight is length x width x height (cm) / 6000

Volume Reduction

Volume weight, if a box has a limit of 30 kg and you put only 10-12kg in that box, then the airline will charge 30kg, not 10-12kg. Simultaneously, sending duvets, pillows, soft toys & so on takes more space than the actual weight. So the best way to reduce your shipment’s volume weight is to buy vacuum bags, put everything that is not fragile as a duvet and pillows etc., in a bag, suck the whole air with a vacuum cleaner and seal it. After that pack it in a box or suitcases. Would you mind not trying this procedure on Fragile, sentiments or Extra value items?
