How to use this
Carriers bill on whichever is heavier — your actual weight, or the dimensional weight of your box. A 3 lb box of chips in a big carton can cost the same as a 10 lb box of honey. Pack tight.
Numbers here are planning estimates based on typical ground / priority / express parcel rates. Get a real rate from Shippo, USPS, UPS, or FedEx before quoting a customer or setting a flat-rate shipping policy.
Formula
dim_weight = (L × W × H) ÷ 166
billable_weight = max(actual, dim)
rate = base_fee + billable_weight × per_lb_rate
customer_price = rate × (1 + markup_pct)
