What is a Cubic Meter?
When sending your shipment via our Port to Port service, you can send as much or as little as you would like based on a minimum charge of 1 cbm or up to 1000kgs of gross weight. A cubic meter is quite literally 100cm x 100cm x 100cm (HxWxD). If you exceed 1 cbm you are simply charged for the additional part there of (not an additional cbm necessarily). All shipments are subject to confirmed measures and weights prior to invoicing and dispatch by World Baggage. To calculate a cubic meter measurement, multiply the L x W x D (cm) of your stacked luggage and divide by 6000, divide this figure by 167. OrClick here to use our free Volume weight Calculator.
