    The calculation of price is based on volume weight if it exceeds the actual weight of your shipment.

    Calculation of volume weight: Multiply length, width and height of a package (in centimetres). Add the volumes of several individual parcels of a shipment to get the total volume of the shipment. To calculate the volume weight (in kilograms), divide the volume of the shipment by the factor tendered in our quote. Any intermediate results must be rounded up.
