Step 1: Volumetric weight calculator
Measure the packed box in centimetres and use this formula, which express couriers commonly use:
Volumetric weight (kg) = Length × Width × Height (cm) ÷ 5000
Some carriers or services use a different divisor, so we confirm it for your booking.
Step 2: Chargeable weight
You pay for whichever is higher: the actual weight on the scale or the volumetric weight. It is usually rounded up to the next 0.5 kg. For example, a box of 40 × 30 × 30 cm that weighs 4 kg has a volumetric weight of 7.2 kg, so it is charged as about 7.5 kg.
Ready reckoner: common box sizes
| Box size (cm) | Volumetric weight | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 20 × 15 × 10 | 0.6 kg | Documents, small gifts |
| 30 × 20 × 15 | 1.8 kg | Clothes, sweets |
| 35 × 25 × 20 | 3.5 kg | Snacks and spices |
| 40 × 30 × 20 | 4.8 kg | Mixed family parcel |
| 40 × 30 × 30 | 7.2 kg | Sarees, kitchen items |
| 45 × 35 × 30 | 9.45 kg | Medium carton |
| 50 × 40 × 30 | 12 kg | Large family parcel |
| 50 × 40 × 40 | 16 kg | Relocation box |
| 60 × 40 × 40 | 19.2 kg | Large carton |
| 60 × 50 × 50 | 30 kg | Bulky goods (consider cargo) |
Tip: the smallest box that protects your items saves money. Vacuum-pack clothes and don’t leave empty space.
Step 3: What else affects the price
- Destination: carriers price by zone. The Gulf and Sri Lanka are usually lower, while the USA, Canada, Australia and Europe are higher.

Courier charges FAQ
How are international courier charges per kg worked out?
Carriers charge by weight band and destination zone. Light parcels are usually priced in 0.5 kg steps, and heavier parcels often have a per-kg rate. Your price uses the chargeable weight, which is the higher of the actual and volumetric weight.
Which is the cheapest courier from Chennai to the USA?
It changes with the weight, the box size and current offers, so there is no single cheapest carrier. That is why Fair Deal Express compares DHL, FedEx, UPS and Aramex for each parcel. See courier to the USA from Chennai.
Does the price include customs duty?
Normally no. Duty and import taxes are charged by the destination country and paid by the receiver, unless a duty-paid service is booked. Rules differ by country and change often.
