How you calculate dimensional weight of a box!!

We all know that oversized packages are going to cost more to ship. The trick is knowing how much the size of your parcel is going to drive up the shipping costs.

Most parcel shipping software programs will automatically calculate dimensional weight for you when you enter the dimensions of the package you are shipping.

But do you understand how the program arrives at the dimensional weight?

What if you have to calculate the dimensional weight of a package on the fly? Would you know how?

Have no fear, I am going to share the UPS "secret formula" for calculating dimensional weight with you! (Okay, it's not secret, but you wouldn't believe how many shipping professionals aren't exactly sure how to calculate the cost without their trusty computer software.)

Okay, here goes:

Step 1: Measure the length, width, and height of your package in inches. Round to the closest full inch increment. (Anything under a half inch, round down, anything a half inch or over round up to the next nearest inch. For example, 27.49 inches would round down to 27" and 36.75 would round up to 37".)

Let's say your parcel measures 27" x 37" x 14".

Step 2: Multiply the dimensions of your parcel to determine the cubic size of your parcel.

So, using the example above: 27 x 37 x 14 = 13986 cubic inches

Step 3: Choose your UPS carrier service.

For UPS Air (DOMESTIC): Divide the cubic size of your parcel by 166 to determine the dimensional weight of the parcel.

Using the example above:

13986 cubic inches / 166 = 84.253 dimensional weight in pounds

Round up to the next whole pound for any fraction of a pound.

Therefore, for UPS Air service, the above package would be 85 dimensional pounds.

Here is a list of favorable sizes:

INSIDE DIM.

L x W x H

8 x 8 x 60"

10 x 10 x 38"

10 x 10 x 40"

14 x 14 x 19"

30 x 20 x 6"

36 x 10 x 10"

36 x 18 x 6"

36 x 24 x 4"

For UPS Ground (DOMESTIC): If the cubic size of the parcel in inches is more than 5,184, divide the cubic size of your parcel by 166 to determine the dimensional weight of the parcel as above.

If the cubic size in inches is less than 5,184, use the actual weight of the package.

For INTERNATIONAL shipments: For export shipments, divide the cubic size by 139 when measured in inches to determine the dimensional weight. Increase any fraction to the next whole pound. (NOTE: THIS INCLUDES UPS STANDARD TO CANADA where the cubic size is greater than 5184.)

Do you make these mistakes sometimes???

8 Mistakes Packaging Buyers Often Make!

SEE THIS LIST OF MISTAKES BUYERS LIKE YOU OFTEN MAKE!!

1. Buying too soon.
Many order too soon when they dont need material yet...Please ask me about our VMI program...you can have an expert take inventory and automatically order just in time rather than over buying!!
rand new businesses can usually get by on bare-bones equipment and upgrade as needed. A good rule of thumb: if you’re not going to use it tomorrow, don’t buy it–you might not really need it in the future.

2. “Bargains” that aren’t.
PBuyers like you sometimes fall prey to the allure of a low price...which...many times is too good to be true!! it usually is!!

3. Impulse buys.
Don’t get talked into a purchase by an overzealous salesperson, or go on a new office furniture spending spree because you’re frustrated with your same old surroundings. Smart business owners only make strategic purchases.

4. Skimping on research.
You should know a few basics before you start to shop: your price range, your basic requirements, the names of a few vendors, and how long the purchasing process usually takes. Don’t waste your time contacting vendors that only offer services for big companies if you’re a small business. An educated consumer is our best customer!!

5. Being a know-it-all.
While research is great, getting your heart set on a particular technology or product isn’t always a good idea- you might miss out on an offering that’s better suited for your business. Be open to suggestions, even if you have a fairly firm idea of what you want.

6. Buying based on price alone.
The cheapest product or service isn’t always the best- or even the cheapest! For example, many payroll services vendors charge a very low per-check fee, but then add charges on for changing employee information or performing mandatory payroll tax deposits. Evaluate all costs to make sure you’re really getting a deal.
7. Not considering long-run costs.
Many business necessities can be leased or hosted (software, voip phone systems equipment, etc.) instead of purchased. This might cut down on the initial outlay, but will be more expensive overall. For example, many credit card processing companies sell processing terminals for a few hundred dollars, or lease them for $20/month or more- buying is clearly the better bargain in such cases.

8. Overextending yourself.
Even if a specific purchase is absolutely necessary, it might be out of your current price range. Overextending yourself is never a good idea- try buying a cheaper version that can be upgraded or even traded in as your business grows.
The most successful business owners know that good judgment and common sense can go a long way- Only buy what you need, do your homework, and don’t spend to your limits. Remember, a “good deal” is a purchase you’re satisfied with, no matter how much the actual cost.
