Formula:
The formula for Volumetric Weight is:
Volumetric Weight = (Length × Width × Height) ÷ Dimensional Divisor
The Billable Weight is then determined by comparing the Volumetric Weight with the Actual Weight:
Billable Weight = MAX(Volumetric Weight, Actual Weight)
Where:
- Length, Width, Height: Dimensions of your package.
- Dimensional Divisor: A factor set by shipping carriers (e.g., 5000 or 6000 for metric, 139 or 166 for imperial).
- Actual Weight: The physical weight of your package.
