parcel sizing

parcel sizing refers to the process of measuring and determining the size of a package for shipping purposes. Correct parcel sizing is crucial for determining shipping costs, as many carriers, like UPS and FedEx, charge based on both weight and dimensions. For larger packages, dimensional weight (also known as volumetric weight) may come into play, meaning that the size of the package can affect its shipping rate even if it’s light. To avoid unexpected shipping fees, accurately measure the length, width, and height of your parcel and use the appropriate shipping service.
