Calculation of chargeable weight

The rules for calculating the chargeable weight are applied accordingly, respectively the volumetric weight is calculated with the formula LxWxH (cm) / 6000 (1m3 = 166.67 kg). The chargeable weight that is taken into account is the greater of the volumetric weight and the gross weight.

Calculation example #1:
Parcel dimensions: 60 x 40 x 40 cm (LxWxH)
Parcel weight: 12 kg
The volumetric weight is 60*40*40/6000 = 16 kg, so the chargeable weight is 16 kg

Calculation example #2:
Parcel dimensions: 60 x 40 x 40 cm (LxWxH)
Parcel weight: 20 kg
The volumetric weight is 60*40*40*40/6000 = 16 kg, so the chargeable weight is 20 kg
