Frequently Asked Questions

Which shipping carriers does this calculator support?

The calculator estimates costs based on rate structures for USPS, UPS, and FedEx, allowing you to compare rates across these major carriers for your package dimensions and destination.

How is dimensional weight calculated?

Dimensional (DIM) weight is calculated by multiplying the package length × width × height in inches, then dividing by the carrier's DIM factor (typically 139 for domestic US shipments). Carriers charge whichever is greater — actual weight or DIM weight.

Are the estimates exact carrier rates?

The estimates are based on standard published rate schedules and are intended for planning and comparison purposes. Actual rates may vary based on your carrier account, negotiated discounts, and surcharges.
