Actual and volumetric weight
When does actual weight or volumetric weight apply?
- Find out your parcel's actual weight in kilograms.
- Find out your parcel's volume in metres (ie. 15cm = 0.15m)
Volume (m3) = Length (m) x Height (m) x Thickness (m).
- Find out your parcel's volumetric weight
Volumetric Weight (kg) = Volume (m3) x 200.
- Apply postage for the greater of either actual weight and volumetric weight.
Note: Volumetric calculation is only necessary when using the ParcelPostâ„¢ Tracked Zonal service
