Courier companies charge the rates depending upon the weight, dimensions as well as distance of the delivery. Usually customers can easily estimate the rate charged for the shipment by weighing the parcel and use quick quote service or else some companies are even providing the rate calculator tool which helps to know the price details.

Customers can book for the courier service by the actual weight of parcel as measured on the weighing scale or appropriate weight equivalent to the parcel weight. But the courier companies use the volumetric weight which is calculated on the size of your consignment. As it helps the customers to place the contents of the parcel according to the size of the box to avoid spilling or tearing of the box while in transit. Volumetric weight is calculated by using the formula: [height (cm) x weight (cm) x length (cm)] ÷ 5000

But the actual weight and the volumetric weight may differ, in this case courier companies consider the greater of those weights which is called as considered weight. The reason is that the items with the larger volumetric weight may occupy more space on the vehicle for transport and as such are charged accordingly by the companies.
