Dimensional weight applies when your package is relatively light compared to its dimensional volume. Calculation of dimensional weight:
Centimeters (cm): (Length x Width x Height)/5000   OR   Inches (in): (Length x Width x Height)/305If the dimension includes a fraction, any fraction of a centimeter or an inch is rounded up to the next-higher whole centimeter or inch.
