Where people go wrong
- Using a 139 divisor with centimeters and kilograms without converting units.
- Measuring the outer box but ignoring padding that increases dimensions.
- Applying one carrier's divisor to a carrier that uses a different one.
FAQ
Should the divisor be 139 or 166?
Check the carrier and service rules; 139 is common for US ground, while some express services use 166.
Why is billable weight not always dim weight?
Carriers use the greater of dim and actual weight; light bulky parcels are usually billed on dim weight.
