Frequently asked questions

1. What is a shipping dimensioner?

A shipping dimensioner is an automated machine that measures the size, weight, and captures photos of packages, parcels, and irregulars. It helps shipping companies to calculate shipping costs accurately.

2. How does a shipping dimensioner work?

Shipping dimensioners use various technologies, such as infrared sensors or 3D cameras, computer vision to capture the length, width, height, and weight of an object. This data is then used to calculate the dimensional weight, which carriers often use to determine shipping charges.

3. How do I calculate DIM weight using a shipping dimensions calculator?

To calculate DIM weight, multiply the length × width × height of the package and divide by the carrier-specific divisor (e.g., FedEx and UPS use 139 for domestic shipments).

4. What is the difference between shipping dimensions and weight?

Shipping dimensions measure a package’s size (L × W × H).
Weight refers to the physical mass measured on a scale.
Carriers charge based on whichever is higher—actual weight or DIM weight.
