Parcel Cost Guide
Dimensional weight matters when a package takes up more space than its actual weight suggests. For business parcel shipping, measuring the box is just as important as weighing it.
Test Drive ParcelSwiftDimensional weight is a pricing method that considers the package size. FedEx explains that a shipment can be charged by actual weight or dimensional weight, whichever is greater. UPS also uses dimensional weight when package size is large relative to actual weight.
Use the smallest safe box, avoid extra empty space, and compare services after entering real dimensions. A better package fit can make a meaningful difference when your team ships every day.
Load your own rates, enter the real box size, then compare options. That is the fastest way to see which service makes sense before a label is created.
