International Express Measurement Video:Why are the dimensions measured by the shipper often different from those measured by the freight forwarder?

International express delivery charges will be based on the actual weight and volumetric weight, whichever is greater;

The actual weight refers to the weight of the package, the decimal part of the calculated value is reduced by half of the kilograms.
Volumetric weight is determined based on the density of the shipment, that is, the actual weight of the shipment per unit volume.
The billable weight is the weight used to calculate the rate. The billable weight may be greater than the actual weight or volume weight of the package.

Volumetric weight calculation method: length * width * height / 5000. For example, for a 30*30*40 piece of cargo, the volumetric weight is 30*30*40/5000 = 7.2KG (the size is in cm, and the unit is rounded up to 1cm. For example, 16.4cm is calculated as 17cm);

PS: It should be noted that the measurement method of international express delivery sizeDifferent from domestic,yesIrregular packages will be treated as regular rectangular boxes.Farthest point from the centerMeasure the length, width and height of the package. For example, the following figure

Shipping costs are then calculated based on country and billing weight.

Multiple items per ticket:

For a single piece, the larger weight is taken and then rounded up, and then the billable weight of each piece is added up to get the total billable weight, for example:

    The volumetric weight of the first box is 19.8KG, which is heavier than its actual weight. Therefore, the chargeable weight of this box is 20KG. The actual weight of the second box is 26KG, which is heavier than its volumetric weight. Therefore, the chargeable weight is 26KG. By analogy, the total chargeable weight is 20+26+16+22, which is 84KG.
