How Accurate are your Box Dimensions?

Dimensional weight pricing ensures that large, bulky items are invoiced according to the space they take up rather than actual weight. In order to maximise revenue, a carrier should compare actual weight with dimensional weight and use the greater of the two as billable weight.

Right systems with the right specifications protect you from losing money caused by inaccurate invoicing. Applying the wrong system on goods it can not handle illustrates this.
