Frequently Asked Questions
What is dimensional weight?
Dimensional weight (also called volumetric weight) estimates a package's weight based on its size rather than its actual scale weight. Carriers use this to charge fairly for large, lightweight packages that take up more truck/plane space than their actual weight suggests.
Why does the dim divisor matter?
The dim divisor is a carrier-set number used in the dimensional weight formula — a smaller divisor results in a higher (more expensive) dimensional weight, so it directly affects your shipping costs for large packages.
How can I reduce dimensional weight charges?
Using right-sized packaging instead of oversized boxes is the most effective way to minimize dimensional weight charges — every inch of unnecessary box size adds to your dimensional weight calculation.
