When you ship a large but lightweight shipment, where

its volumetric weight exceeds its actual weight, the cost of the shipment is calculated based on the the space your shipment consumes on the airplane, which is a standard IATA method. To calculate the volumetric weight of your shipment, simply multiply in centimeters the length by height by width, then divide the total sum by 6,000. The total shipment weight will be rounded up to the nearest kg. All weights and dimension measurements by ECMS Express will serve as final chargeable unit.

Example 1

For a 10kg parcel that has a box dimension of 50cm x 50cm x 50cm. The actual weight is 10kg and the volumetric weight is 20.8kg ((50 x 50 x 50)/6000). In this instance, the chargeable weight will be 20.8kg rounded to the nearest kg, which is 21kg.

Example 2

If you ship a shipment with 10 separate 10kg parcels with a similar box dimension of 50cm x 50cm x 50cm. The total shipment actual weight will be 100kg (10kg x 10 parcels). And the total volumetric weight will be 208kg (((50 x 50 x 50)/6000) x 10)
