The cost of shipments can be affected by the amount of space taken up on an aircraft, rather than the actual weight. This is the volumetric (or dimensional) weight. Calculate the volumetric weight below.

Multiply the length x height x width in centimetres and divide the answer by 5,000. The result is the volumetric weight. The answer should be compared with the actual weight in kg. Whichever is the greater figure should be used to charge by the shipment company.
