Frequently Asked Questions

What are the steps to measure the dimensions of a package correctly?

To measure a package, first identify the longest side for length, then measure the width across the flapped side, and finally measure the height from top to bottom, rounding to the nearest inch or centimeter.

How do I calculate the volume and dimensional weight of my package?

Calculate the volume by multiplying the package's length, width, and height. To find the dimensional weight, divide this volume by the carrier's divisor, which is essential for estimating shipping costs.
