Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is volumetric weight?
Volumetric (or dimensional) weight is a pricing technique used by couriers. They charge based on either the actual weight or the volumetric weight (size), whichever is greater.
-
What is the standard volumetric divisor?
For domestic shipments in India (like Delhivery or BlueDart), the standard divisor is typically 5000 (L×W×H in cm / 5000). For international air freight, it is often 5000 or 6000.
-
How do I use the Volumetric Weight Calculator to generate shipping labels?
Simply enter the package dimensions (length, width, height) and weight into the tool. It automatically calculates the volumetric weight using the standard divisor, then integrates with your shipping platform to generate accurate labels based on the higher of actual or volumetric weight.
-
Can the Volumetric Weight Calculator handle multiple packages in one batch?
Yes, the tool supports batch processing. You can upload a CSV file with dimensions and weights for multiple packages, and it will calculate volumetric weights and generate barcodes or labels for all items simultaneously, saving time on bulk shipments.
-
Does the tool support different volumetric divisors for various carriers?
Absolutely. The Volumetric Weight Calculator allows you to customize the divisor (e.g., 139 for FedEx/UPS, 166 for DHL) per carrier. It automatically applies the correct divisor when generating labels, ensuring compliance with each carrier's billing rules.
-
How does the tool ensure barcode accuracy for shipping labels?
The tool validates package dimensions and weight against carrier requirements before generating barcodes. It also checks for common errors like mismatched units (e.g., inches vs. centimeters) and provides real-time alerts, ensuring barcodes scan correctly during transit.
