The cost of your shipment is determined by one of two methods: volumetric weight (also known as cubic or dimensional weight) and dead weight (also referred to as actual weight). Your billable charge will be whichever is greater of the two.
Dead weight is simply the physical weight of your parcel on a scale. Volumetric weight accounts for the space your parcel takes up, which means a large but light package can cost more to ship than you might expect.
You do not need to calculate this yourself. Interparcel’s postage calculator does it automatically, so the price you see at checkout already reflects the correct chargeable weight for your shipment.
If you want to find out more about how it works, read our blog article on how couriers use volumetric and dead weight to calculate your shipping cost.
