Determine the volumetric weight of a box: 


Divide the cubic size* of the package by 5,000* (in cm) to determine the volumetric weight in kilograms. Increase the fractions of weight to the next full kilogram. 


Note: *Calculate cubic size: Multiply the length of the package by its width and height (each rounded up to the nearest whole centimetre).



Determine the volumetric weight of a cylinder: 


Calculate the volume by multiplying the diameter (length) of the cylinder with its width. Then, multiply that number by the height of the package to get volume.


Next, divide the volume by 5000*(in cm) to determine the volumetric weight of your shipment.
