The formula is L x W x H (cubic inches) / 166 = Dimensional Weight. Example: 30″ x 24″ x 22″ = 15,840 / 166 = 96 lbs. (round up to the nearest pound) The Ground DIM weight (figured differently from Express) is calculated by adding the length (the measurement of the longest side) to the girth (2 times height + 2 times width). For example, lets say you have a package that is 8 x 10 X 12. The length would be 12 (the longest side) and the girth would be 8 + 10 = 18 x 2, or 36. Add the length (12) to the girth (36) and you get 48 inches. This is the measurement used to figure the DIM weight.
