Learn about volumetric weight
The cost of a shipment can be affected by the amount of space that it occupies on an aircraft, rather than its actual weight. This is the volumetric (or dimensional) weight. The volumetric weight of a shipment is a calculation that reflects the density of a package. A less dense item occupies more space in relation to its actual weight. The volumetric weight is calculated and compared with the actual weight of the shipment to determine which is greater. Then the higher weight is used to calculate the shipment cost. The volumetric divisor is 139 for inches/pounds or 5,000 for centimeters/kilograms.
