What is Volumetric weight?

How do Airzonex charge? For the weight or Volume

Volumetric weight, sometimes called "dim" or dimensional weight, is used when the space a shipment takes on an aircraft may cost more than the shipment's actual weight

Should I check each package?

Yes, you have to calculate dimensional weight on every package, and compare that to its actual weight, and use the greater of the two to determine your shipping cost. However, if you have the dimensions and the weight, you may simply enter into the Airzonex shipping calculator form and the system will calculate and find whichever is higher.
Volumetric weight for international shipments is calculated using the formulae below.

Why is the volumetric Weight charged on the shipment?

A less dense item generally occupies more volume of space, in comparison to its actual weight. The volumetric or dimensional weight is calculated and compared with the actual weight of the shipment to a certain which is greater, the higher weight is used to calculate the shipment cost.

What is the formula to calculate the volumetric weight?

Length x Width x Height in centimeters / 5000 = Volumetric Weight in kilograms rounded up to the nearest 0.5kg
Length x Width x Height in inches / 138.4 = Volumetric Weight in pounds

How to Calculate the weight

1 Kg = 2.2 lbs. / 1 lbs. = 0.453592 kg
Volume weight Calculation in CM length x width x height / 5000
Length x Width x Height in inches / 138.4 = Volumetric Weight in pounds
