2- Volumetric Shipping for Woocommerce

By using “Volumetric Shipping” for Woocommerce, merchants can calculate shipping charges according to volumetric weights instead of actual weights. The volumetric weight can increase shipping charges, as it directly relates to how much space it takes up. If your package has a high weight-to-size ratio, you may need to consider its dimensional weight when calculating your shipping cost. Volumetric weight (dimensional weight) shows that a package occupies more space than its actual weight, which is related to its volume.

A shipping company may charge you for an item’s dimensional weight instead of its weight if the item occupies a lot of space but is not very heavy. Less dense items may occupy more volume than their actual weight. In order to do so, the dimensional weight is calculated by measuring the dimensional width, dimensional height, and dimensional length of the consignment and comparing it to the realized weight. The higher weight is used to calculate the shipping cost.
