Weight And Size Limits For Couriers

Couriers use Volumetric weight to measure the bulk of an n item. Volumetric weight is a size measurement performed by carriers to determine how bulky an item is. This is then used as if it were the actual weight of the item. FedEx & CityLink use length x width x depth divided by 6000 and DHL do the same but divided by 5000.This ensures large bulky items are charged for accordingly. Imagine a 1m square box that weighs 1kg, it wouldn't be fair to transport this for the same price as a 10cm square 1kg box as it takes up far much more room on a van or truck.

The restrictions are subject to change and are also different dependent on the delivery location.

Our full pallet weight limit is 1000kg.
