Volumetric weight calculator: the weight you are charged for

Couriers charge for the higher of a parcel’s actual weight and its volumetric weight, worked out from the box size. Enter the length, breadth and height in centimetres and the actual weight, and see which one applies and how much a smaller box would save in weight.

How it works

How it is worked out

  • Volumetric weight (kg) = length × breadth × height (cm) ÷ 5000, the divisor most Indian surface couriers use.
  • Charged weight = the higher of actual and volumetric weight.
  • Meesho shows the weight it uses for your product while you list; check it there, as the category also matters.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Why is my Meesho shipping charge high for a light product?

A light product in a big box is charged on its volumetric weight. A snug polybag or smaller box lowers it. See our guide on lowering Meesho shipping charges.

Is the divisor always 5000?

It is the usual figure for surface couriers in India; some couriers and air shipments use other divisors. The weight Meesho shows in your panel is the one that counts.

Can OneClickOMS help with shipping charges?

Yes. While you add a Meesho listing, it shows the current shipping charge, lower options for your product and actual against volumetric weight.
