Volumetric Weight

The value of a shipment can be affected by the amount of space it occupies during distribution, rather than the actual weight which is known as volumetric (or dimensional) weight.

The volumetric or dimensional weight is calculated and compared with the actual weight of the shipment to ascertain which is greater; the higher weight is used to calculate the shipment cost.

Calculation

For Air Express & Air Cargo:

Length x Breadth x Height (in cms) 
6000

For Surface:

Length x Breadth x Height (in cms)
4750 

For International: 

Length x Breadth x Height (in cms)
5000 

For R-Express booking under Priority product, if any dimension of the parcel exceeds 110cms then 2 times the weight (Gross or Volumetric, whichever is more) is directly charged to the customer as the railway authorities charge the same. 

Volumetric Weight CalculatorVolumetric weight, sometimes called "dim" or dimensional weight, is used when the space a shipment takes on an aircraft may cost more than the shipment's actual weight. You should calculate dimensional weight on every shipment, and compare that to its actual weight, and use the greater of the two to determine your shipping cost. Volumetric weight for international shipments is calculated using the formulae below. Volumetric weights for domestic shipments may vary, so please contact your local customer services department or country web site. Length x Width x Height in centimetres / 5000 = Volumetric Weight in kilograms rounded up to the nearest 0.5kg Length x Width x Height in inches / 138.4 = Volumetric Weight in pounds rounded up to the nearest pound If you have a Javascript compatible browser - you can use our quick calculator below.
