HOW TO CALCULATE VOLUMETIC WEIGHT

To calculated the volumetric weight of your shipment all you need to do:

LENGTH X WIDTH X HEIGHT X 200

the above calculation will give you the volumetric weight of the intended cargo, so the goods will be chargeable at whatever is greatest, volumetric or actual weight
