Welcome to our comprehensive guide on DHL's volumetric weight calculation for air freight. In this article, we'll dive deep into how DHL calculates volumetric weight for shipments, providing you with all the insights you need to optimize your air freight shipments.
Volumetric weight, also known as dimensional weight, is a calculated weight based on the volume of a package. It is used by carriers like DHL to ensure fair pricing for shipments that are large but lightweight.
DHL calculates volumetric weight by multiplying the length, width, and height of a package in centimeters and then dividing the result by a volumetric conversion factor.
By considering volumetric weight, DHL ensures that cargo space on aircraft is used efficiently, maximizing the number of packages that can be transported on a single flight.
Understanding how volumetric weight affects shipping costs can help you optimize your packaging and minimize expenses when sending air freight with DHL.
Using compact and lightweight packaging can help reduce the volumetric weight of your shipments, potentially leading to cost savings.
Consolidating multiple small packages into one larger shipment can help lower the overall volumetric weight and streamline the shipping process.
