What is Full Volumetric, No Volumetric & Half Volumetric

What is Full Volumetric, No Volumetric & Half Volumetric

Full Volumetric, No Volumetric, and Half Volumetric are the calculation methods of the chargeable weight of goods.

What is FULL VOLUMETRIC?

FULL VOLUMETRIC means the actual weight or volume weight, whichever is heavier will be charged.

volumetric weight calculation of a box

Volumetric weight calculation:  

length (L) * width (W) * height (H) / 6000 (calculated in cm) = volumetric weight kg

*Even using parcel bags, if the volume is heavier than the actual weight, the final freight will be charged according to the volume.

*Compared with actual weight and volume weight, the heavier fee will be charged.

Example 1 

The actual weight of the goods: 15KG

The actual volume of the goods: length 50 CM * width 50 CM * height 50 CM

The volume weight of the box: (Length 50 CM * Width 50 CM * Height 50 CM) / 6000 = 20.83 KG

(20.83 kg integer is calculated as 21kg)

Reminder * If it is below 20.4KG, it will be calculated as 20 KG

The actual weight of the goods :15 kg and

The volume weight of the goods :21 kg.

In a situation , the volume weight of 21 KG will be charged.

Example 2

The actual weight of the goods: 25KG

The actual volume of the goods: length 60 CM * width 55 CM * height 42 CM

The volume weight of the goods:

(length 60 CM * width 55 CM * height 42 CM) / 6000 = 23.1 KG (23.1 kg integer is 23kg charge)

Reminder * If it is below 23.4KG, it will be calculated as 23 KG    

The actual weight of the package is 25 kg, and the volume weighs 23 kg.

In a situation like this, the actual weight of 25 KG will be charged.

What is NO VOLUMETRIC?

NO VOLUMETRIC not charge based on the volume, regardless of the size, and charge directly according to the actual weight of the goods.

measuring the weight of the goods in the box

*The charge is based on the actual weight of the goods, not the volume weight of the goods.

Example 

The actual weight of the goods: 15KG

The volume weight of the goods: (Length 50 CM * Width 50 CM * Height 50 CM) / 6000 = 20.83 KG

(Integer of 20.83 kg is charged as 21kg)

In a situation like this, the actual weight of 15 KG will be charged.

What is HALF VOLUMETRIC?

HALF VOLUMETRIC means to balance the charge according to the actual weight of the package and the weight of the thrown weight.

volumetric weight and the weight of the box divided by 2

*According to the actual weight of the goods + volume weight of the goods ÷ 2, the calculated weight will be charged.

Example 

The actual weight is 15KG, the volume weight is 21KG ,

Actual weight 15KG + volume weight 21KG = 36KG ÷ 2 = 18KG

Half volumetic is calculated based on 18KG shipping.

If the half-throw weight is 18.68, it will be charged based on the carry algorithm, and the final calculation will be 19KG.

Reminder * If it is below 18.4 KG, it will be calculated as 18 KG

What is cubic meter m³ (CBM)?

Cubic meter means that it is billed in volume units, for example, the volume of a cube with a length of one meter on each side (length X width X height) is equal to one cubic meter.

length times width times height to get the cubic meter of the box

1 cubic is equal to 100CM * 100CM * 100CM = 1 cubic meter

Cubic meter calculation:

length (L) * width (W) * height (H) / 1000000 (calculated in cm) = cubic meter CBM
