*Most shipments larger than 1 cubic foot in size are subject to shipper charges computer based on the greater of an item's actual weight, or its "Dimensional Weight" (aka "Dim Weight"), an industry standard measure based on how much space an item takes up. Dim Weight is most often computed as follows: (L x W x H)/194 and shown above. Some shippers (especially airlines) utilize a pricer dimension weight of (L x W x H)/166. Shipments outside of the United States are usually computed differently. Shipping weight above is the dimensional weight of a machine assuming 5" of padding in each dimension, but does not take into account variances possible for machines places on pallets..
