VOLUMETRIC WEIGHT
It is an industry standard that courier consignments are charged at the greater of either the actual weight or volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is calculated by multiplying the length, breadth and height (in centimetres) and dividing this by the applicable volumetric conversion factor which is 5000.
