Dimensional weight, often known as DIM weight, is the space that a package occupies while being shipped. Consider the amount of room there is in a truck or a plane. If your box occupies a little more room than the weight it is charged for, you will be charged for that extra room. You are charged either the real or dimensional weight whichever is higher. Dimensional weight is calculated by multiplying the length, width and height of the shipment and dividing it by a courier specific volumetric divisor.
