How is dimensional weight calculated?
Divide length × width × height (cm) by the divisor — 5000 for international express, 3000 for Türkiye's domestic carriers. You are billed on the higher of volumetric and actual weight.
Volumetric weight Length × Width × Height (cm) ÷ 5000 (international) or ÷ 3000 (Türkiye domestic)
Billable weight The higher of volumetric weight and actual weight (kg)
Frequently asked questions
Is shipping charged on volumetric weight or actual weight?
On whichever is higher. The carrier compares the parcel's volumetric weight with its actual weight: a large but light parcel is billed on its volumetric weight, and a small but heavy one on its kilograms.
Why are there two divisors, 5000 and 3000?
Türkiye's domestic carriers divide by 3000 for shipments within Türkiye and by 5000 for international ones, so the same parcel comes out lighter internationally. International express carriers may set their own divisor; check it in your contract and enter it with Other.
What is desi?
Desi is what carriers in Türkiye call volumetric weight on domestic shipments: length × width × height in centimetres ÷ 3000. It is a measure of volume, not weight, but for billing 1 desi counts as 1 kilogram. A volume of 3000 cubic centimetres, a box of about 15 × 15 × 13.3 cm, is 1 desi.
