1 cubic foot

1 cubic foot is a standard unit of volume used to measure the space inside a package or shipment. It is equivalent to 1 foot by 1 foot by 1 foot in dimensions (12 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches). When shipping, knowing the cubic footage of a package is important for calculating shipping rates, especially for services that use dimensional weight pricing. Shipping carriers like UPS, FedEx, and USPS may charge based on the cubic volume of a package rather than its actual weight if it is particularly large for its weight. Understanding the cubic footage of your shipment can help you estimate shipping costs more accurately.
