Shipping Weights

There are no weight restrictions for European shipping, we can ship from envelope to pallets, for Air Freight Services it gets a little more complicated, as airlines use a system called “Volumetric”

Volumetric Shipping Explained

Volumetric (or dimensional) weight is a pricing technique carriers use to charge for shipping based on a package's size rather than just its actual weight. It calculates the space occupied, allowing carriers to charge for low-density, bulky items, with the final cost based on the higher of actual vs. volumetric weight.

The chargeable weight is the greater of the actual weight or the volumetric weight. Carriers use specific formulas to determine this based on the measurement system used:

• Metric Formula: (Length x Width x Height) ÷ Dim Factor (e.g., 5000).
• Imperial Formula: (Length x Width x Height) ÷ 139.

This system matters for cost control, as a large box with a light item might be charged for the space it takes up rather than its weight. It also encourages efficiency, as optimizing packaging size minimizes the space used in aircraft and delivery vehicles.

Our website automatically calculates the size of the product for shipping purposes and stops any over packing that causes high shipping costs, if there a number of items ordered it calculate to add the space or even fit within the space that largest item takes up
