Lightweight goods do not always take up little space. A large package can affect vehicle capacity even when its actual weight is low. Weight and dimensions should therefore be prepared together.
Measure length, width, and height after final packaging. Weigh the parcel together with its box and protective materials, then record the number of packages. If individual packages have different dimensions, list them separately so calculations can be checked easily.
Service providers may apply volumetric weight rules to certain shipments. Ask about the formula, rounding, and charging basis directly, as these can vary by service and route.
When discussing a shipment, also provide the type of goods, origin, destination, and handling requirements. Accurate initial information helps identify suitable services, while the final charge remains subject to inspection and the agreed terms.
