Why Air Freight Charges the GREATER of Actual vs. Volumetric Weight?

Ever shipped a lightweight but bulky cargo only to be charged for “phantom” weight? Here’s the logic:

✈️ Airlines’ Rule: Charge for space occupied, not just mass. Volumetric weight = (LxWxH in cm)/6000 (or /366 for inch).

💡 Cost-Cutting Tips:

Optimize packaging to reduce dimensions
Use foldable/stackable designs
Consolidate shipments when possible
Smart packaging can save 20-40% on air freight.
