How to measure

Accurate measurement and weight specification of your package are crucial aspects of the shipping process. The size and weight of your packaged item directly impact the cost of delivery. Ensuring you provide precise information is a simple step to avoid overcharges or inventory discrepancies, even if the errors are unintentional. After properly packing your item using a sturdy, well-protected, and suitably sized box, the next step is to determine its weight.

It's important to note that the weight you specify should include the materials used for packaging. You can use a bathroom scale or a dedicated parcel scale for this purpose. To measure individual packages or pallets correctly, follow these basic guidelines, depending on the type of package. Measurements should be expressed in centimeters, rounded to the nearest centimeter.

However, when sending a particularly bulky object, it becomes necessary to measure its height, width, and depth as well. You can use a tape measure or ruler to ensure precise measurements. Accurate dimensions are essential to facilitate swift and efficient delivery. Additionally, if you plan to ship internationally, you must comply with international regulations for transporting goods. This is why it's advisable to rely on an experienced and dependable courier who can provide you with all the necessary information and support for seamless worldwide shipping.
