Rectangular
Shaped NOTE: Most packages will not be measured since they will
not meet the below criteria.
Here are the criteria for dimensional weight pricing:
• Priority
Mail
• Measures more than one cubic foot (1,728 cubic inches)
• Item is destined for Zone 5 through 8
• Regular
Shaped
To determine dimensional weight pricing:
1. Weigh the item (round any fraction of a pound to the next
whole pound).
2. Determine if measurements are required (use a measure-
ment template if available).
3. If needed, measure the length, width, and height (round
off individual measurements to the nearest inch) and enter
measurements into the electronic scale.
Dimensional weight will be calculated by the electronic
scale or can be manually calculated in the following steps.
4. Multiply the length by the width by the height. This figure
is the cubic capacity. If the result is 1,728 cubic inches or
less, dimensional pricing does not apply. Postage will be
based on the scale weight and the appropriate zone.
5. RECTANGULAR SHAPED PACKAGE: If the result from
#4 above is more than 1,728 cubic inches, divide it by 194
to determine the dimensional weight. Round up any frac-
tion of a pound to the next whole pound. The applicable
postage is based on the scale weight or the dimensional
weight, whichever is greater, and the appropriate zone.
