One of the most common questions when planning a shipment with GIMworld is how the shipping fee charged. For small parcel, it can be confusing to see that a regular sized but heavy parcel may be cheaper to ship internationally than a larger but lighter parcel. Meanwhile, sometimes you could receive a quote for one size of box that is a similar price to another box of different dimensions.

This issue comes about because there are two separate values that your shipment may be charged on; the actual weight and the volumetric weight. That means that, depending on the weight that your courier chooses to charge you on, the chargeable weight of your package, the price of your shipping may change.
