The next crucial step is to enter the package dimensions and the total weight of the shipment as accurately as possible. These details have a direct impact on the calculation of the shipping price. Couriers pay close attention to this information, and if the specified size doesn't match their standard dimensions, it could lead to unexpected additional charges.
💡 Couriers can make mistakes too. So, by double-checking the dimensions and weights of your shipment yourself, you can make sure any added costs are fair. It's a simple way to stay in control of your shipping expenses.
Enter parameter manually
In the fields, enter the length of the package, which is always the longest side of the package, the width and height of the package.

- Furthermore, you can save the details of the package you've entered for future use by clicking the Save in Package Library icon in the right corner.
