    • SF Express Weight Calculation

      For each SF Express service, the weight is determined by the greater of the volumetric weight and the actual weight.

      Volumetric Weight = Length x Width x Height ÷ 5000

      Actual Weight = Weight after packaging

      Calculation Example

      SFExpressBox

      Volumetric Weight = 20 x 20 x 40 ÷ 5000 = 3.2kg

      Actual Weight = 1kg

      Since the volumetric weight > actual weight, the weight is 3.2kg.
