Dimensional Weight

Dimensional weight, also known as volumetric weight or DIM weight, is a pricing strategy used by shipping companies to calculate the cost of shipping packages based on their size rather than just their weight. It considers both the actual weight and the volume of the package, as carriers need to allocate space on their vehicles efficiently. This system ensures carriers are compensated for the space a package occupies, even if it's not very heavy. It also encourages businesses to use efficient packaging to minimize wasted space.
