Shipping Rate calculation

Shipping rate is determined according to the actual weight or the volumetric weight of the parcel, whichever is greater.

  • The volumetric weight of the parcel is determined by the actual dimension measured by the warehouse.
  • In respect of weight of parcels after consolidation, any weight less than 1kg will be rounded up to the nearest 1kg.

Volumetric weight formula

Length (cm) X Width (cm) X Height (cm) ÷ 6000 = Volumetric Weight (kg)

Example:
Dimension of parcel is 30cm ×50cm ×60cm
Volumetric weight of parcel is 30cm ×50cm ×60cm ÷6000=15kg,
Actual weight of parcel is 5kg
As the volumetric weight is greater than the actual weight, the shipping rate will be calculated based on the volumetric weight (i.e. 15kg).
