Preparing Your Shipment Packaging Your Shipment Paying for Your Shipment
1 Shipment weight
Please weigh and measure your shipment. If you are
sending a large but lightweight shipment, where its
volumetric (dimensional) weight exceeds its actual
weight, the cost of the shipment is calculated on the
space your consignment takes up on the aircraft. This is
a standard IATA method. To calculate the volumetric
weight of your shipment, simply multiply the length by
height by width in centimeters, then divide the total
sum by 5,000 for each piece in the shipment. Any piece
in the shipment may be re-weighed and/or
re-measured by DHL to confirm this calculation.
