Determine
Weight of Shipment
Rates are based on the total actual weight or the total dimensional
weight of all packages in a shipment, whichever is greater.
There is no limit on weight or the number of pages that you
may enclose in the Nationwide Express Envelope.

How
to determine dimensional weight |
|
|
Shipping charges will
be based on the dimensional weight of the shipment when the
dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight. Dimensional
weight is determined by using the International Air Transport
Association (IATA) volumetric standard. |
|
Step
1 |
|
|
Calculate cubic size :
Multiply the length by the width and by the height (each rounded
up to the nearest whole centimetre) of each package. |
|
Step
2 |
|
|
Determine the dimensional
weight : Divide the cubic size of the package by 6000 to determine
the dimensional weight in kilograms. Increase fractions of
a weight to the next full kilogram.
Multiple-piece shipment dimensional weight is the sum of all
dimensional weight of all packages within the shipment. |
