DIM weight is a shipment pricing method put in place by major carriers including FedEx, UPS and DHL. It went into effect at the start of 2015 for ALL packages shipped by ground service.
12. Why do shippers
suddenly care about
dimensional weight?
Before the online
shopping boom,
shipping companies
typically delivered a
large shipment to a
single, business address.
13. Now consider that
many shipping
companies are
delivering -
most of the time
- single packages
to many different
destinations.
21. For U.S. Postal Service:
Volume ÷ 194
For FedEx & UPS:
Volume ÷ 166
How do you calculate DIM weight?
IT’S EASY!
22. How can your business reduce DIM costs?
Use the right
size box to avoid
unnecessary and
empty space.
Use envelopes!
Envelopes can be
great for soft,
non-breakable items.
