# What's the weight and the volumetric weight?

Suppose you ship a 1000g package, but with a size of 30x35x30 (cm)

You might think of paying shipping based on weight, therefore 1000g, however, in this case, the volumetric weight is greater than the weight of the package (4500g, see image).

So I'm going to pay the volumetric weight and not the actual weight (Basically you are paying for air).

Each courier has its own formula for calculating the volumetric weight, so pay close attention to the volume of the objects when you ship.
