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.
