volumetric formula

volumetric formula Volumetric formula is used to calculate the dimensional weight of a package, which helps determine the cost of shipping based on the space the package occupies, rather than its actual weight. The formula is typically: (Length x Width x Height) / Dimensional Factor. Carriers like UPS, FedEx, and DHL use this formula to calculate shipping charges for bulky but lightweight packages. Dimensional weight ensures that carriers are compensated for the space packages occupy in transport vehicles.
