Unlocking the Mystery of Volumetric Weight 📦✨

Ever wondered why shipping costs sometimes seem to defy gravity? I did too, until I stumbled upon the secret world of volumetric weight! Instead of just weighing your package, carriers like to measure the space it hogs. Grab your tape measure and note the length, width, and height—round up or down, but don’t let decimals trick you! Multiply these numbers, and voilà, you have your cubic size. But here’s the twist: each shipping company has its own magic number (the volumetric factor). Divide your cubic size by this factor, and you’ll get the true cost culprit—the volumetric weight. For example, in New York, UPS might use 166, while DHL in Tokyo uses 4,000. Confused? Me too, sometimes! 😅 Double-check with online calculators, and if you spot a mistake in my method, please call me out in the comments. Let’s crack this code together!
