The weight of a product can be calculated in 2 ways - dead weight and volumetric weight. The higher of the two is used to calculate the
logistic charges
Dead weight = weight of package
Length 5 inches
Width 6 inches
Height 4 inches
Volumetric weight 393.28 Grams
Volumetric weight in grams =
(𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ × 𝑏𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑡ℎ × ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 × 2.543
)
5
Note: length, breadth and height in
inches
Weight of the packet measured on the weighing
machine = 900 grams
Dead weight = 900 Grams
