Your price is based on chargeable weight—the higher of actual or volumetric weight—ensuring transparent, fair, and optimised shipping costs.
Pricing Basics
Your shipping quote is based on the chargeable weight, which is determined by comparing two factors — the actual weight and the volumetric weight of your parcel.
Whichever is higher becomes your chargeable weight.
Understanding Weight Types
Actual weight: What your parcel weighs on a scale.
Volumetric weight: How much space it occupies in the aircraft.
Use this formula to calculate volumetric weight:
(Length × Width × Height in cm) ÷ Volumetric Divisor
Optimization Tip
Express air lanes typically use a divisor of 5000.
Our calculator displays the divisor for your selected route and shows both actual and volumetric weights—helping you optimize your packaging for cost efficiency.
