Fuuffy Pricing Scheme
There is no uniform pricing method in the international express shipping industry. Major international courier companies employ diverse cost calculation methods for different service offerings and impose various surcharges. To enhance your shipping experience and make it more convenient, Fuuffy has adopted a simplified international express pricing calculation method, providing you with a clear and comprehensible quotation system.
Fuuffy's international express shipping cost calculation method is straightforward and intuitive. It utilizes only two key indicators: the volumetric weight and the actual weight of documents or parcels, with the higher of the two being the determining factor:
If actual weight > volumetric weight: Calculation based on actual weight
If volumetric weight > actual weight: Calculation based on volumetric weight
Shipping Cost Calculation Example:
Package A | Package B | |
Actual Weight | 0.5kg | 8kg |
Dimensions | 150x10x10cm | 50x10x10cm |
Vol. Weight (LxWxH/5000) | 3kg | 1kg |
Billable Weight | 3kg | 8kg |

Volumetric weight is a method used in international shipping and logistics to calculate freight costs for large but lightweight packages. It determines shipping rates based on package volume rather than actual weight, primarily to ensure fair pricing for bulky yet light items.
Length (cm) × Width (cm) × Height (cm) ÷ 5000
Example: Package dimensions 50cm × 40cm × 30cm, weighing 5kg:
Volumetric weight = 50 × 40 × 30 ÷ 5000 = 12kg
Actual weight = 5kg
Chargeable weight = 12kg (higher value applies)
