volume of weight

volume of weight, also known as dimensional weight, is used by shipping carriers to calculate fees based on the space a package occupies rather than its actual weight. It’s especially important for lightweight but bulky items. The standard formula involves multiplying length, width, and height, then dividing by a dimensional factor set by the carrier. Understanding dimensional weight helps avoid unexpected shipping costs and allows you to better plan packaging strategies that are both cost-effective and compliant with shipping standards.
