How we calculate the weight?

The cost of a shipment can be affected by the amount of space that it occupies on an aircraft, rather than the actual weight. This is the volumetric or dimensional weight.

Dimensional Weight is computed as Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Height (cm) / 5000.

This applies with most express couriers, like DHL which uses the greater of the actual or dimensional weight. Whereas, EMS shipments use actual weight to calculate shipping cost but parcels will be charged with the greater between actual and dimensional weight if any side of the box is over 40cm. calculated method is : length*wide*height/ 6000.
