How shipping rates are calculated
International couriers price shipments on the chargeable weight and the destination. The chargeable weight is the higher of these two:
- Actual weight — how heavy the parcel really is
- Volumetric (dimensional) weight — how much space it takes up
Other factors include the destination country or zone, the service level (express or economy) and any special handling the parcel needs.
What is volumetric weight?
Volumetric weight makes sure light but bulky parcels are priced fairly. A common formula couriers use is:
Length (cm) × Width (cm) × Height (cm) ÷ 5000 = volumetric weight in kg
If the volumetric weight is higher than the actual weight, you are charged on the volumetric weight. Packing efficiently in a right-sized box can lower your cost.
Tips to reduce your shipping cost
- Use a box that fits the contents and avoid empty space
- Weigh and measure your parcel accurately before booking
- Compare carriers instead of defaulting to one
- Consolidate multiple items into a single shipment where possible

Frequently asked questions
How is the shipping rate calculated?
Rates are based on the chargeable weight (actual or volumetric, whichever is higher), the destination country and the service level you choose.
What is volumetric weight?
It reflects how much space a parcel takes up. A common formula is length x width x height (in cm) divided by 5000. If this is higher than the actual weight, you are charged on it.
Are the quoted rates final?
The shipping charge shown is what you pay to the courier. Import duties or taxes may apply in the destination country and are usually paid by the recipient, unless you choose a duty-paid (DDP) option.
