Basicly this means that an air package may have a volume that is 4.5x bigger than its actual weight. For Sea Freight, we have no factor and 1 kg = 1 dm<sup>3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much is\u00a01 dm<sup>3<\/sup>?<\/strong><br \/>\n1 dm<sup>3<\/sup> equals approx. 1 liter of water. Imagine a juice box that&#8217;s 1 liter; it weighs approx. 1 kg and its volume is of course 1 liter (= 1 dm<sup>3<\/sup>). This means that you can send an Air Freight package with a weight of 1 kg and a volume of 4 liters (4 dm<sup>3<\/sup>) <strong>for the price of 1 kg<\/strong> according to our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jetcarrier.com\/cms\/en\/306-2\/310-2\/\">Price List<\/a>.

Some items barely have any weight vs. its volume. A pillow may only weigh 100 grams but takes a lot of space. If we sent 10,000 pillows, we would most likely fill up the airplane&#8217;s cargo space, but only pay for 1,000 kg worth of freight.\u00a0So in the end, the conclusion is: Volume is also a freight-related cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Any business that carries goods, needs to calculate both volume and weight.
