Most common questions
-
How is the size of the shipment determined?
Parcel sizes are calculated using the same logic as carriers calculate parcel sizes.
The logic is as follows:
1. Measure the three dimensions of the package in centimetres.
2. Add the two smallest dimensions together and multiply the result by two. This is the girth of your package.
3. Take the longest dimension of the package and add it to the girth. The result is the combined length and girth of your package. -
