DivisorUsed byDim weightCost

Carriers charge the greater of your actual weight and the volumetric weight, so a large light box is billed on the air inside it. Divisors differ by carrier and service: 139 is common for US domestic, 166 for retail ground, and 5000 for metric. Always check the specific carrier's tariff before quoting a customer.

The Shipping Weight Calculator works out dimensional, or volumetric, weight from a package size, then shows the billable weight and cost using whichever of actual or dimensional weight is higher, as carriers do.
