length(cm) x height(cm) x width(cm) and divide the result by 5000.
For Eg : you are sending a package that weighs 8kgs, but the dimensions are 40cm x 30cm x 50cm
40x30x50
--------------- = 12kg
5000
If you are sending multiple packages, calculate each weight separately and this is the 'total chargeable weight'. The Chargeable weight is dead weight or volumetric weight, whichever is higher
NOTE: HIGHER OF THE TWO WEIGHTS WILL BE THE CHARGEABLE WEIGHT.
