Actual and volumetric weight

When does actual weight or volumetric weight apply?

  1. Find out your parcel's actual weight in kilograms.
  2. Find out your parcel's volume in metres (ie. 15cm = 0.15m)
    Volume (m3) = Length (m) x Height (m) x Thickness (m).
  3. Find out your parcel's volumetric weight
    Volumetric Weight (kg) = Volume (m3) x 200.
  4. 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
