So, how do you calculate the volumetric weight?
There are two ways
1. You can go down the easy path and jump onto our quick quote page, enter your destination information and the dimensions of the parcel in centimetres,
or…
2. You can grab the nearest calculator and follow these steps:
The volumetric conversion rate
Multiply the height (cm) x width (cm) x length (cm) divided by the volumetric conversion factor (5000cc)
Example:
if a parcel size is:
Height: 50cm
Width: 30cm
Length: 50cm
Multiply the height x width x length divided by volumetric conversion (5000) to get volumetric weight.
from our example: (Height) 50cm x (Width) 30cm x (Length) 50cm = 75000 / 5000 = 15kgs
So, if the actual weight of this parcel was 5 kilograms and the volumetric weight was 15 kilograms,
the greater weight of 15 kilograms is used to calculate the price.
NB : for economy Roadfreight you divide by 4000
Matric unit to use is centimetres (CM)
