What Are Volumetric Weight and Actual Weight?
“Whichever is greater” (or “carrier’s choice”) is a phrase to remember when calculating the cost of moving goods by air, ocean, road or rail. That’s because the carrier will always look at two different measurements – the actual weight and the volumetric(dimensional) weight of your shipment - and then base their chargeable weight calculation on the larger figure. The actual weight is the actual, gross, or total physical weight of your shipment, including any packaging and pallets. It is simply the entire shipment weight, typically expressed in kilograms (kgs) or pounds(lbs). The second type of weight is the volumetric or dimensional weight (the volume of your cargo). It is also expressed in kilograms or pounds but based on your shipment’s dimensions (length, width and height in centimetres), to which a density ratio is applied. Do not forget to include all the packages! The density ratio applied on your shipment depends on the transportation mode you have selected. e.g. If the desity ratio of your shipping courier is 6000, the formula for volumetric shipping is ( L x W x H, in centimetres ) / 6,000
How to avoid underestimation of costs?
When freight rates are high it’s particularly important to understand the chargeable weight of your goods whether you are shipping them by air, ocean, road or rail. Couriers measure the size and weight of nearly every package during transit. This is an automatic process using very precise laser measurements. Shippers who underestimate the chargeable weight are likely to receive an unpleasant surprise when the bill arrives. Also, knowing the exact chargeable weight along with other factors such as the required transit time helps with selecting the optimal transportation mode.
