Volumetric Formula

Actual Weight and Volume Weight Definitions:

  • Actual Weight:
    The weight obtained after weighing the parcel.
  • Volume Weight:
    The parcel's length x width x height (cm) ÷ 6000.

Charge Methods:

  • Non-Volumetric:
    When the difference between the volume weight and actual weight is within 20 kg, charges are based on the actual weight.
  • Half-Volumetric:
    When the difference between volume weight and actual weight exceeds 20 kg, charges are based on the average of actual weight and volume weight.
  • Normal Volumetric:
    Charges are based on the greater of volume weight and actual weight.
  • Cubic Meter:
    Charges are determined based on the parcel's volume (length x width x height ÷ 1000000).

Example Illustration:

For a parcel with an actual weight of 5 kg, a volume weight of 15 kg, and dimensions of 50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm

Charge Methods Chargeable Weight
Non-Volumetric 15kg - 5kg = 10kg(within 20kg) 5kg
Half-Volumetric (15kg + 5kg) ÷ 2 = 10kg 10kg
Normal Volumetric 15kg>5kg 15kg
Cubic Meter (50cm x 50cm x 50cm) ÷ 1000000 0.125m³
