What is Volumetric Weight?

Volumetric weight is a measurement used in the shipping and logistics industry to calculate the weight of a package based on its dimensions. It is used to determine the shipping cost, as larger packages with lower actual weight can take up more space in a delivery vehicle. The volumetric weight is calculated by multiplying the parcel's length, width, and height, and then dividing by a dimensional factor (138.345 in this case).

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ VW = \frac{20 \times 15 \times 10}{138.345} = 21.68 \text{ lbs} \]

The Volumetric Weight is 21.68 lbs.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ VW = \frac{30 \times 20 \times 15}{138.345} = 65.10 \text{ lbs} \]

The Volumetric Weight is 65.10 lbs.
