Actual weight is what the package weighs when you place it on the scale.
Dimensional weight, also known as "volumetric weight," is the weight calculated based on the dimensions or volume of a package. Dimensional weight is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of a package. Here is the standard formula for calculating dimensional weight:
Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Height (cm) / 5000 = Weight (kg)
You can check this using myukcart’s dimensional weight calculator: https://myukcart.com/shop4me-calculator/
Will I be charged actual weight or dimensional weight?
You will be charged either the accrued weight or the billable weight. Once the dimensional weight is calculated, it is compared to the actual weight and the greater of the two is used to determine the accrued weight or the billable weight.
