of all Your Shipments collectively or on the number of boxes in each of Your Shipment.
For the purposes of calculating the price of each Shipment, the actual weight or
volumetric weight, whichever is higher will be considered as the billable weight.
Volumetric weight of a Shipment will be system calculated at the time of booking in the
panel of the Platforms. The formula used to calculate the volumetric weight is:
length(cm) x breadth(cm) & height(cm) divided by 5000.
For example, if a shipment has the following dimensions:
Length 30cm
Breadth 25cm
Height 40cm
The volumetric weight will be – 30 x 25 x 40 / 5000 = 6 KGs
