Formula & How It Works

Volumetric weight & shipping fee

Volumetric weight (kg) = L×W×H(cm) ÷ divisor
Divisor: 6000 for air/express, 8000 for some ground services
Chargeable weight = max(actual, volumetric)
Fee ≈ first-weight price + ⌈chargeable − first⌉ × additional price
Bulky light goods (cotton, foam) bill by volume — compress to save

Example: 60×40×40 cm box, 5 kg actual → volumetric 96000÷6000 = 16 kg; ¥12 first + ¥5/kg → 12 + 15×5 = ¥87.
