Appendix A: Dimensional Weight Pricing

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.  IRREGULARLY-SHAPED PACKAGE:  If the result from 
#4 is more than 1,728 cubic inches, multiply by the 0.785 
adjustment factor, divide it by 194 to determine the dimen-
sional weight. Round up any fraction 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.

Example: 30” x 18” x 9” = 4,860 cubic inches x 0.785 
= 3,815.1 / 194 = 19.67 pounds, which is rounded up to 20 
pounds.
Length = 29-3/4”
Width = 18-1/4”
Height = 9-1/4”
