White Paper: Definitive guide to DIM weight

Most parcel shipping carriers have altered their method of calculating the weight—and, by extension, the price the shipper pays—of packages shipped. In 2014, major shipping carriers announced a dimensional weight pricing model, commonly called DIM, for air and ground parcel shipping services. For several years, shipping customers have been charged the greater amount between actual weight and DIM weight. The rules for DIM weight, however, have become stricter—with financial consequences for shippers.

Many shipping customers are in a good position to realize cost savings simply by reviewing their current shipping practices with their carriers to determine the best available deal.
