How to reduce dimensional weight charges.

Right-size your packaging

The fastest win. Boxes sized to their contents cut cubic volume directly, which lowers billable weight on every shipment with no negotiation required.

Negotiate the divisor and minimums

A better DIM divisor lowers billable weight across the board, and better minimums protect your small shipments. Both are contract terms you can win.

Audit for misapplied DIM

Carriers sometimes miscalculate or remeasure packages. Auditing invoices catches and disputes those errors automatically.

Rethink carrier mix on bulky lanes

For very bulky, low-density freight, a regional carrier or LTL freight can beat parcel pricing entirely.
