Shipping
Dimensional Weight Calculator
Compute the billable weight of a shipment as the greater of actual weight or dimensional (volumetric) weight, using the carrier-specific DIM divisor. Useful for FedEx, UPS, USPS, and DHL parcels where bulky-but-light packages get charged on volume rather than mass.

Shipping
Freight Class Calculator
Estimate the freight cost of an LTL (less-than-truckload) shipment by computing density and applying the per-hundred-pound rate, plus accessorial fees. Use it for B2B logistics planning where pallet density determines NMFC freight class and ultimately what you pay.
