FAQ

Q1: What is CBM?

CBM stands for Cubic Meter. It's calculated as Length Γ— Width Γ— Height in meters.

Q2: What is volumetric weight?

Volumetric (dimensional) weight is a shipping calculation: (L Γ— W Γ— H) / Divisor. Carriers charge the higher of actual or volumetric weight.

Q3: What divisor should I use?

Air freight typically uses 5000, while sea freight and couriers often use 6000. Check with your carrier.

Q4: Is my data saved?

No, all calculations happen locally in your browser. Your shipping data is never uploaded or stored.

Q5: Can I calculate multiple packages?
