Worked dimensional-weight example

A 12 × 10 × 8 inch parcel has a planning dimensional weight of 5.78 lb using the 166 in³/lb divisor. Compare that figure with the scale weight, then apply the carrier's rounding and billable-service rules.

Before using the quote

• Confirm the exact service and destination zone.
• Measure the packed outside dimensions, including bulges.
• Check whether the account uses a different divisor or rounding rule.
