Here’s how to calculate the DIM weight (also known as volumetric or cubed weight) for your FedEx^® Regional Economy or FedEx^® Regional Economy Freight shipments:

Length* x Height x Width (in cm) / 4000***
! Round each measurement to the next whole number.

Example:
Actual weight: 60kgs and Dimensions: L = 60cm, H = 70cm, W = 80cm

DIM Weight = 60 x 70 x 80 / 4000** = 84kgs

In this example, the dimensional weight is greater than the actual weight of the package, so DIM weight will be used for rating the shipment.

For more information about DIM weight, head over to this page or speak to your sales representative.

*Length is defined as the longest side of the package.

**Each measurement shall be rounded to the next whole number.

*** 4000 is an example; your existing account DIM will be used for dim weight calculations
