Specific client rates will be applied when customer account number is entered. One off customers/those without a customer account will be charged at standard rates.
CUBIC WEIGHT CHARGES
For large light-weight shipments, our shipment rates are calculated on the greater value between the actual (dead) weight of the shipment and the volumetric (cubic) weight measured in kilograms.
​
How do we calculate the volumetric weight?
To calculate the volumetric weight, simply multiply the WIDTH by the LENGTH by the HEIGHT of your shipment (in metres) by 333.
​
Our volumetric (or cubic) conversion factor is 333 kilograms per cubic metre.
Our charges reflect the greater of either the actual (dead) weight OR the volumetric (cubic) weight.
A sample calculation is set out below:
This shipment measures 0.45m long X 0.55m wide X 0.60 high. It actually weighs only 40 kilograms. Thus, 0.45 X 0.55 X 0.60 X 333 = 50 kgs (the chargeable weight).
