Cubing Help Guide

The cubic measurement of a parcel can be determined as follows:

For example; a box is measured in meters and their dimensions are:

                             Length    =  85cm

                             Width      =  15cm

                             Height    =   45cm

 
1)  Convert the linear dimensions of a length x width x height to meters.

2)  Multiply the length x width x height x 250 (or applicable conversion rate) = cubic weight.

3)  Compare the cubic weight to the actual weight and calculate the charge whichever is the greater

4)  Conversion is (L).85 x (W).15 x (H).45 x 250 = 14.3 (round up to nearest whole figure)

5)  The actual weight of this parcel was found to be 9 kilograms when it was placed on the scales. Using 250kg       as the cubic conversion the cubic weight is 15kg, thus the greater weight of 15kg is used.
