Preparing your shipment properly is the best way to ensure your shipment arrives on time. This means using the right sized box as well as the correct packaging materials and labels.
Volumetric weight is used to determine the weight of a package, which determines the shipping costs. By volumetric weight we mean a package’s density, which is the amount of space it occupies in relation to its actual weight – the bigger your shipment, the higher the volumetric weight.
It’s vital labels are attached to your shipment correctly as they provide key information for carriers, like its destination and how it should be handled.
These types of items require extra care. So it’s important to make sure they’re properly wrapped and marked to reduce the risk of damage during transportation.
