Setting weights on your products

The best way to work out what weight to set on a product is to firstly weight it (duh!), but if the product is light but large, you should work out the cubic weight of the product. You will need a ruler or tape measure, and a calculator to do so. The formula that Australia Post uses for cubic weight is below.

Height (in metres) x length (in metres) x width (in metres) x 250

For example: 50cm X 30cm X 40cm
0.5m x 0.3m x 0.4m
= 0.06m x 250
= 15kg cubic weight
