Calculation steps

  1. 1Volumetric weight = L×W×H ÷ divisor = 40×30×20 ÷ 12000 = 2.00 kg
  2. 2Billable weight = max(actual 3, volumetric 2.00) = 3.00 kg → rounded up to 3 kg
  3. 3Cost = first kg ¥23 + 2 × ¥10 = ¥43

Bulky-but-light items (quilts, pillows, foam) are charged by volume. Compressing with vacuum bags can cut the bill dramatically. Prices above are reference rack rates — membership/monthly-settlement discounts are usually 30-50% lower.

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.
