Free Whitepaper: How to Calculate Dimensional Weight

In January 2015, UPS and FedEx began calculating rates based on the size of a package, instead of actual weight, for all packages shipped using their Ground delivery services. This pricing program is known as Dimensional Weight Pricing, also referred to as “DIM Weight.”

In our free whitepaper you will learn all you need to know about DIM Weight and how to calculate it. We explain DIM Divisors and Net Minimum Values as well as providing charts that show exactly how DIM weight impacts shipping costs for the most popular box sizes.
