Dimensional weight calculator
See the dimensional (volumetric) weight carriers may bill for a box, and whether a smaller box would ship cheaper.
Each carrier sets its own divisor and rounding rules; check your carrier's current rates. A box that fits closer to your product can lower the dimensional weight.
Questions
What is dimensional weight?
A billing weight based on the box’s outside cubic size: length × width × height divided by the carrier’s divisor. Carriers usually charge whichever is higher: dimensional weight or actual scale weight.
Which divisor should I use?
Your carrier sets it, and it can differ by service and account. 139 is a common US domestic commercial divisor; check your carrier’s current rate guide.
