Check whether a large lightweight package may be billed by volume instead of scale weight.
Dimensional Weight Calculator estimate
How the estimate works
Dimensional weight equals package cubic inches divided by the entered carrier divisor. Billing weight rounds up the larger of actual and dimensional weight.
Important limitation
Carrier divisors, rounding, package measurements, zones, service levels, and surcharges vary. Results are estimates only and are not financial, lending, legal, tax, or investment advice.
