Calculating size and weight

When the shipment is too large?

Calculating volumetric weight

Large, lightweight packages are charged at their volumetric weight for the space they occupy, rather than their actual physical weight. To determine volumetric weight, first calculate the volume of your package and then multiply this figure by the relevant conversion factor.

Service	Conversion factor
Express services	Multiply by 200: Length (m) x Width (m) x Height (m) x 200
- Special Express	Length (m) x Width (m) x Height (m) x 200
- 9:00 Express	Length (m) x Width (m) x Height (m) x 200
- 10:00 Express	Length (m) x Width (m) x Height (m) x 200
- 12:00 Express	Length (m) x Width (m) x Height (m) x 200
- Express	Length (m) x Width (m) x Height (m) x 200
Economy services	Multiply by 250: Length (m) x Width (m) x Height (m) x 250
- 12:00 Economy Express	Length (m) x Width (m) x Height (m) x 250
- Economy Express	Length (m) x Width (m) x Height (m) x 250
