FAQs
Which dimensions should I measure?
Measure the outside of the packed parcel in the units requested. The calculator cannot account for packaging bulges or the courier’s measurement and rounding rules unless your inputs reflect them.
Which inputs do I need for Volumetric Weight & Courier Chargeable Slab Calculator?
Use Box Length (cm); Box Width / Breadth (cm); Box Height (cm); Actual Dead Weight on Scale (Grams), then complete the remaining fields for your scenario. The built-in examples show how those fields fit together.
What should I check before using this result?
Always measure outer corrugated box dimensions after taping; 1 cm bulge can push a parcel into the next 500g slab. Check the assumptions and output against your intended task before relying on the result.
