Parcel Size & Weight

The chargeable weight of an individual parcel is the gross or dimensional weight rounded up to the nearest kilo. The chargeable weight of a multi-parcel consignment is the aggregate total of each individual package rounded up to the nearest full kilo.

Dimensional weight (see sidebar for how to calculate this) will be applied on all our consolidated delivery services where the volume of any item exceeds its actual weight.
