What is freight shipping?
Say you own an online clothes store and need to ship a large quantity of jumpers overseas – for this you’ll need a freight service.
It’s the transportation of large, heavy or bulky goods by air or road. The goods are usually loaded on to pallets or into a sturdy container, and the package weighs above 68 kg overall. Once it’s placed on a truck or plane, it can be transported domestically or across the world.

DIM weight explained
DIM weight stands for Dimensional weight and refers to the shipment’s density, which is the amount of space it takes up in relation to its actual weight. It affects your overall shipping costs. To calculate the dimensional weight of a package you multiply the length by width by height and divide it by 5000.
