Ive got my quote for airfreight – whats the deal – my shipment weighs one thing, but I am being charged for a higher weight?
Welcome to the wonderful world of dimensional volume. Every air carrier charges you freight based on the weight or space displaced or utilized on their equipment. If your shipment displaces more space than it actually weighs – you will be charged the dimensional volume weight. There is a formula to compute this. Remember the rest of the world uses the metric system. Your quote will give you dimensions in centimeters. To convert centimeters to inches you multiply by .3937. Round that number up and multiple the inches of the Length by the Width by the Height and divide the total by 166. That will give you the chargeable pounds. To convert the pounds to kilos divide by 2.20463.
