Q. Find the chargeable weight for a consignment consist of 3 parcels with the following measurements,
Parcel 1 with length 32cm, width 44cm, and height 40cm
Parcel 2 with length 55cm, width 30cm, and height 25cm
Parcel 3 with length 60cm, width 35cm, and Height 50cm
Gross weight is 60 kg
Solution:
1st parcel
Length = 32cm,
Width = 44cm, and
Height = 40 cm
Volume weight = L*w*h/6000
=32*44*40/6000
=56320/6000
=9.39 kg
2nd parcel
Length = 55cm,
Width = 30cm, and
Height = 25 cm
Volume weight = L*w*h/6000
=55*30*25
=41250/6000
=6.875 kg
3rd parcel
Length = 60cm,
Width = 35cm, and
Height = 50 cm
Volume weight = L*w*h/6000
=60*35*50
=105000/6000
=17.5 kg
Total Volume weight by combining 3 parcels,
=9.39+6.875+17.5
=33.765
=34 kg
The chargeable weight is calculated on the basis of gross weight or volume weight whichever is higher. Here Gross weight is higher when compared to Volume weight (60 > 34), so
